Hmmm, it says the woman was treated for "shots". I wonder how many times that gun accidentally went off?
Sounds like they need a new instructor.

As a certified NRA instructor I think the deputy violated several basic handgun safty rules.

Probably hit her in the arm, went through that, and then hit her in the ribs or something. One bullet, two entry wounds.

The Deputy

Key word here is Incompetent. Instructor teaching safety to a class without first verifing the safety or status of his props. First rule of gun safety is to treat every weapon as a loaded weapon unless you have verified yourself that it is unloaded.

I am a certified NRA and Lethal Force Institute instructor. All though LFI is not a safty class. I can say without a doubt this officer faild.

Around here; everyone knows that every firearm is loaded.

So, there is no question, and all are treated as such.

If handling is required, it is first unloaded.

It's the KISS method.
