Shot at Gun Class.

These are the kind of stories I hate to report:

Ohio instructor shoots student in gun-safety class

LANCASTER, Ohio – Police say an instructor of a gun-safety class in central Ohio accidentally shot a student during the weekend.

The Columbus Dispatch reports 73-year-old Terry J. Dunlap Sr. was demonstrating a hand gun on Saturday at a training facility when he fired a bullet that bounced off a desk and into the right arm of Michael Piemonte.

The 26-year-old student says the .38-caliber bullet hit him between his elbow and armpit. He says many of the students in the class were nurses who helped stabilize him before he was transported to a Columbus hospital.

Piemonte tells the newspaper it appears that Dunlap did not know that the gun was loaded. Dunlap did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Anti-gunners love stories like this, but let’s get something clear.1. 99.99% of the time nobody gets shot at gun class.

2. Most people do treat every gun like it’s loaded and follow the rules of gun safety. Why did the instructor not do it? I don’t know.

3. Sh-t happens: some people die while learning to drive a car, some soldiers die during basic training, some will run out of air while scuba-diving, in other words, things happen. You want to stay home to be safe? Then I hope you don’t die of CO2 poisoning or any number of things that can kill you at home.

4. You’re still better off learning to use a gun, even if your instructor shoots you by mistake.
