1. What a 'moran'. Did he get hit?

Never. I mean NEVER "assume" a weapon isn't loaded. I never pick up a gun without clearing the chamber. I'm a fanatic about it. Jeez.

2. yes, in the leg. Darwin award nominee right there.

9. Here's the real icing on the cake.

Apparently, this happened back in April, 2004... almost a year ago.

The video began showing up on the Internet a few weeks ago; however, during the time between the incident took place and the video became public, the agent remained on duty (I have no idea if he was reassigned to a desk job or not).

Anyhow, seems like Agent "I'm-the-only-one-here-professional-enough-
to-carry-a-Glock-Forty" has recently been suspended; not because he's a danger to himself and others around him, but because the video was put online.

"DEA Agent Suspended After Shooting Video Surfaces
Investigation Launched Into Who Leaked Internet Video


ORLANDO, Fla. -- An agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency was been suspended after video surfaced showing the man shooting himself during a gun safety class in front of a group of Orlando fourth-graders, according to Local 6 News.

An investigation has been launched to determine who leaked the home video of the undercover DEA agent shooting himself at an event sponsored by the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association.

Before the shooting, the agent was videotaped talking about how certain weapons are popular with rap artists.

"This is a Glock 40," the agent said on the tape. "Fifty Cent, Too Short, all of them talk about a Glock 40, OK?," he said. "I'm the only one in this room professional enough that I know of to carry this Glock 40."


I guess the DEA is more interested in keeping up appearances rather than be concerned with public safety.
