Summary: one of the people "guarding" a recruiting center has an ND. Or, an attention whore gets a little more attention than he wanted.

"I was out here and was talking to a guy who wanted to look at my AR-15," said Reed in an interview with the Eagle-Gazette. "I was trying to clear the weapon and hand it over to him when it went off. I thought it was empty and must have missed it."

Quote
Reed pleaded guilty and was convicted of the same offense in 2013, and was fined $50, court records show.

Quote
“I’m nobody special,” Reed said. “I’m just a guy doing my job because my own government wouldn’t do it.”

Reed said he is not a military veteran. He described himself as an active gun enthusiast who makes a living working side jobs.

He downplayed the accidental shot fired.

“It is what it is,” he said. “Nobody got hurt.”

Well, this sure won't go over well in lib-land.

Why would anyone who is doing this volunteer work allow  this...or manipulate the weapon himself.....to "show it off" to someone else?
Bolt closed on  empty chamber,loaded mag, hands off actuator until threat presents itself.

A "good" PR type would grab hold of this and beat it to death as a vehicle for why the .mil should be arming the troops who are out there on their own in public.

And do it before Moms/Everytown/Bloomberg starts sinking their teeth into this.

stay safe.

This is like the super sized version of showing off your carry weapon.

The business gun is for business. Not show and *expletive deleted*ing tell.

Well, clearly I wouldn't understand. Being female I am unable to grow the facial hair necessary to follow such logic.
