Secret Service Agent Accidentally Shoots Himself

Outstanding, Gentlemen. Give yourselves all a civil service performance bonus.

A U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officer accidentally shot himself while on duty in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night, according to a statement from the Secret Service. The incident occurred shortly before 8 p.m. near 32nd and Fessenden streets in the northwest part of the city.
The officer was handling his service weapon when it discharged, causing him non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation. No other individuals were harmed during the incident, as confirmed by Lt. Paul Mayhair, a public information officer with the Secret Service.
The Secret Service's Office of Professional Responsibility will investigate the circumstances surrounding the discharge. This review is part of the agency's protocol to ensure accountability and prevent future incidents.
The Secret Service has yet to provide further details regarding the condition of the officer or potential procedural changes following the investigation.

Public confidence in the U.S. Secret Service has taken a major hit, with a new Gallup poll showing a 23-percentage-point drop in approval following two attempts on former President Donald Trump's life. The most significant of these incidents occurred in July at a Pennsylvania rally, where a gunman grazed Trump's ear, wounded two others, and killed a rallygoer. Investigations revealed multiple security failings, including the agency's inability to cover rooftops and detect a drone near the rally.
The fallout from the event is evident in the poll's findings, which show a bipartisan drop in confidence. Republicans and independents leaning toward the GOP saw the sharpest decline, but support among Democrats also tumbled. The agency's favorability is now at its lowest in years, and it mirrors declines seen in other federal agencies like the CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Secret Service's challenges are further compounded by a rise in threats against political figures, with lawmakers acknowledging that the agency is "stretched thin." Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) recently stated that the current threat environment is at historic highs. The Department of Homeland Security is now pushing for budget increases and reforms to address these growing challenges, while a bipartisan task force prepares for hearings on the Pennsylvania shooting later this week.

If that's true, I then the left is responsible for this. Both the threats and leftist, Marxist dum-dums like AOC who are constantly claiming that they're being "threatened" and even that they're ghosts now because they were killed on January 6th.

One of the arguments the left makes for gun confiscation is that you are more likely to hurt yourself then an enemy so leave gun ownership to the professionals. Like this one.

That is not true. This is how the grift works:
The Left forces wast upon us. DEI, windmills, female USSS, etc.
Then everything gets twice as hard because they have half the people working, and the other half just in the way (or worse.)

So they demand more money. More money does not go to productive workers (white males,) it goes to more DEI. More waste. More graft.

They say our elections are at risk (2000) so they spend billions on machines. ALL WASTE. We now have an election machine industrial complex. But none of that works as well as paper and hand counts.

So USSS says they need more people. But they will hire useless people and the problem grows....

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction: A safe direction is one where the bullet will not harm anyone if it's discharged unintentionally.

Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

89 "Investigations revealed multiple security failings, including the agency's inability to cover rooftops and detect a drone near the rally."

Inability? I think not.

The tactic was "inability" but the strategy was designed. How many and how far down as far as strategic planning isn't nailed down, but the "failure" was part of the design. The agents tasked with physically serving as human shields did the best they could to actually perform their duties - both optimal and sub-optimal - but anything above frontline service has some measure of culpability and at the highest levels, damage was intentional. Plausible deniability was going to be the figleaf of a successful hit. That and an MFM, aka the DNC political campaigners, would provide cover.

119 It is much more likely that the people hacking the Secret Service and sending out killers is our own CIA than the Iranians, who have enough trouble staying in power with their own people. The CIA knows that the path to plausible deniability is having NPCs like Routh and Crooks do the hit, since a professional sniper team both points the finger at a government operation, and guarantees – like 9/11, that the operation is a conspiracy – since more than one person is involved. Not since the Lincoln assassination has the government admitted there been an actual conspiracy to assassinate a president.

No. WASHINGTON – A federal agent who accidentally shot himself while lecturing children on gun safety lost his appeal Tuesday in a lawsuit over release of the video that subjected him to ridicule on the Internet and late-night talk shows.
Lee Paige sued his employer, the Drug Enforcement Administration, after video of the 2004 accident in Florida appeared in the news and went viral on the Internet. The video shows Paige shooting himself in the leg just as he displays his firearm and tells a gathering of about 50 youth and their parents, "I'm the only one in this room professional enough, that I know of, to carry this Glock 40."

Paige claimed in his lawsuit that the DEA's release of the video, taken by a parent attending the demonstration, invaded his privacy and ended his ability to work undercover or give motivational speeches. Paige, a former professional football player who worked at the DEA since 1990, said the release has also resulted in humiliating comments toward him and his family not only on television but at grocery stores and restaurants.

No. A draw from concealment has four parts.

Defeat the garment (move clothes out of the way)
Stab and grip (stab strong hand to gun)
Pull and crash (move hands together)
Drive and pull the trigger

Cross draw has a much longer stab AND pull and crash movement. It will always be slower.

++++
Fair enough. This seems proper.

But what I do not understand is how anyone with a negligent discharge is ever returned to armed duty. Knowing and training with your weapon is central, and failure to secure your weapon at all times - when holstered, when holstering, when drawing - is central to that. Failing to achieve the core basic premise of your duties would seem to preclude future service, especially if it causes injury to yourself or others.

Unless the discharge is found to be non-negligent. I can think of some scenarios where that could be the case (weapon is drawn but the officer/agent is taken by surprise in a fight, during which time the weapon is discharged because of the physical combat as an example). But if it is found to be negligent, how is the person ever returned to duty?

Posted by: Pudinhead

If you're right-handed, wouldn't you want to wear it on your right side, since it's closer? And the opposite for lefties?

(Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm an ignoramus when it comes to guns.)
------------------
If you wear it on your left side and are right handed you can deploy the pistol faster than on your right hip. There may be reasons why cops wear them on their right hip but it generally takes two hands for a right hander to deploy the pistol on his right hip. Further, I never want a pistol flopping around on my hips.

The most common ND causes I know of, in no particular order are :

2. During holstering, he had the finger on the trigger or something got into the trigger guard (eg clothing or a collapsed leather holster bit)
3. Some morons unload their gun and pull the trigger to release tension on the trigger spring. It's really not necessary and you shouldn't get into the habit. Some guns also require this step to field strip for cleaning. If you don't unload properly ... BANG.
4. They were dry fire practicing and they forgot to unload. Sometimes NDs happen when a person reloads the gun after dry fire practice, then they pull the trigger one more time out of habit/reflex.
5. Some morons rely too heavily on safeties and will pull the trigger, convinced in their head that the safety is on and functioning well. tHe SAFety Is on, whAt aRe yoU WORrIED about?

There are videos of both the Obama’s dancing at a party, it was specifically when he won election the second time. Jay Z is there, so is Kanye and Kim Kardashian, best part is the Chrissy Tiegan red carpet statement she had public sex with John at “The Obama thing “ and John’s face. She says “I am in trouble” and his face is like yep, you are in fact, going to hear about this later.

Also, not long after, Kanye started going off the rails, but part of his rants were these pedo Hollywood parties and saying he will never let his children be part of it, so maybe he didn’t really go off the rails. He also started noting he was no longer a democrat. Interesting times.

252 Never wear your pistol on your hip - the military spent years and a lot of your tax dollars to determine that wearing a short firearm is better located on your opposite aim side - just 5 or so inches below that shoulder. You went to the range to get that measurement and hopefully earned your sharpshooter or marksman medal with the light pistol, but the '45 was a different story, and its rare you have someone qualify on both...

270 > Have read improper re-holstering can result in trigger pull.

I know of at least one case where a guy had a really old piece of shit leather holster that had mostly collapsed. The shape it took after collapse had a finger like nub sticking in, inside the trigger guard area. One day, the guy holstered and the leather nub actuated the trigger and BANG.

More often, it's a piece of clothing that gets caught in there and the force of holstering combined with the pull of some clothing can pull the trigger.

I personally got into the habit of putting my thumb on the hammer during holstering. That way if the hammer starts to move I can stop. This is one reason I personally don't buy striker fired guns.

It was as condescending as it gets for a guy whose own neighborhood in Beverly Hills would never accept an illegal let alone 20K of them unless they were maids or gardeners.

Had the same experience with an FBI agent. I was part of planning of a big mass casualty exercise at our airport. They had two FBI agents and one of them was an absolute ass and made sure that everyone knew that he was FBI and therefore better than us. He offered nothing in the way of plannning and executing the exercise and just sat there in his self-importance.

WHAT? You do not EVER "handle" your weapon, unless you needed to draw it to threaten or shoot someone. Not ever. If he needed it against a potential attacker, you'd think that would be mentioned in that same sentence. So, he took his gun out because... he wanted to play with it or show it off to impress someone. Or was he break-dancing and it fell out?
