I quizzed my kids with this statement: “One training instructor shot and killed another training instructor while doing a ‘room clearing exercise’. Which rules did he break?”

The reply: “All of them”

When we were young elders showed us the Colonel Cooper’s five rules of handling firearms on VHS.
They are timeless and should be etched on stone tablets.

I wonder who the dead guy was investigating or tipping off?
It “could” be an awfully convenient “accident”.

The 90-7-3 Rule in full effect here.

90% of LEO’s have one firearm, their duty weapon, which they begrudgingly and barely qualify with once per year. In a duty shooting they do full mag dumps and may hit the bad guy once or twice. I have personally witnessed poor marksmanship by LEO’s at the range.

7% of LEO’s have personal firearms, and may hunt or participate in target shooting, trap and/or skeet, or other shooting sports.

3% of LEO’s are true firearms experts. They are instructors, RSO’s, may hold an FFL, be a gunsmith, load their own ammo, or shoot competitively at a high level. In my experience, they are also Second Amendment supporters and would NEVER violate their oath to disarm the public. Criminals on the other hand…

    I can Vouch for the 90% figure.
    I have personally assisted in the training and re-certification for several departments in Florida. Just about the only times the officer will shoot their duty weapon is to qualify; or rather attempt to qualify. Many of their scores were pitifully bad. The lead instructor and I demonstrated the course of fire for them on the first day and not one came close to either of our scores. The last group we ran through the course, seven of ten failed to qualify and had to go back for remedial training.
