A firearms safety course went awry in Bedford County on Saturday afternoon when a participant shot himself in the hand with a .45-caliber handgun and the bullet passed through his hand and struck his wife, seated next to him, in the leg.

What the hell were they doing with live ammo in a classroom? I blame that one at least 50% on bad instructor(s) and inadequate safety precautions.

I'd be hard-pressed to classify anyone as "professional" who winds up putting a round through their hand and into their wife...regardless of caliber.

[Edit--I just got the reference to the DEA-shoots-himself-in-foot video with this "Glock 40" xD]

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
