[ProAlpha]

Good reason why instructors don't allow live ammo in classes.

I like how the kids didn't believe the next gun was empty after shooting himself with the first empty gun.

I spent nearly 20 years as a military firearms instructor, live ammo was never allowed in class. The instructor never carried ammo. I know of no mishaps while I served. Rules have a reason, don't brake the rules and nobody gets hurt. Really bad way to learn a lesson.

This is one of the reasons students are not allowed to bring their personally owned guns into my classes. I provide everything they need until we hit the range.

It's sad and inexcusable that his negligence led to an innocent's life being cut short.

Wow. Tragic.

Hope he had good insurance.

Does this mean the ladder of the law has no top and no bottom. Almost similar sentence except the taxpayers will pay for this.

So the instructor was guilty of not checking the students firearm to ensure it was clear. I get that and it's a shame someone died because of that mistake, but the student should also be held accountable IMO, everyone should know by now to make sure their firearm is clear before handling it.

There's so much FAIL in that story it hurts to read about it.
