For those who may not recognize the name, Lee Paige is the DEA agent who (literally) shot himself in the foot while presenting a firearms safety class.
Now another federal agent has (literally) shot himself in the foot: http://www.wftv.com/news/local/police-federal-agent-accidentally-fires-gun-at-oia-injures-foot/578295185

From the Story:
As a gun owner and military veteran, Robins wants to know why the gun’s safety wasn’t on if the agent was on vacation.
Because Glock.

And all you need to do to make a pistol completely 100% safe is activate the safety. Because there is NO WAY that you can deactivate the safety when grabbing at a gun that was dropped.
There’s a hole in the carpet where the bullet made contact with the floor. Airport officials covered it with a plant.
All is well............nothing to see here............move along. Because I am sure there are no other holes in the carpet at the airport. And a plant laying on the floor attracts no notice at all.

Mr. Robins has a point. The vacation gun safety rules apply to everyone; even federal agents. The rest of us, when we're going on vacation, dig out our dusty old safeties and put them on our guns when we go on vacation. Why should the feds be any different?

A trigger lock would have prevented this needless tragedy.
If it saves even one toe...

Because some animals are more equal than other animals, you silly person.
I note that we not only don't know the name of a federal doofus, we don't even know what agency he works for. If the same thing had happened to any one of us, our name would be prominently displayed in the first paragraph of the article.

Last I heard, there are 72 federal agencies authorized to carry firearms. :O That guy could have been with some doofus agency like Agriculture.
