....here was bragging about the skill of NRA's firearms instruction...


Area firearms instructor accidentally shoots finger
April 30, 2013 12:00 am • By Jerome Christenson l


A shooting accident sent a local firearms instructor to the hospital
with injuries to his left hand.

Fred Petersen, 66, of rural Stockton was showing his wife a .38 Special
handgun Thursday morning in their home, Winona County Sheriff Dave Brand
said.

Brand said Petersen had cleaned the pistol and was putting it into a
holster when Petersen’s wife asked him whether it was possible to pull
the trigger when the weapon was holstered.

In attempting to answer that question, Petersen triggered the action
while holding the gun and holster in his left hand, accidentally firing
a shot. The slug struck his left index finger between the first and
second joint, damaging the bone, Brand said.

Petersen received initial treatment at Winona Health and then was
transferred to St. Marys Hospital in Rochester for a successful surgery
to repair the finger, Brand said.

“The gun was pointed in a safe direction,” Petersen said Monday, “but my
finger was not in a good spot.”

Petersen is an NRA-certified instructor for classes required to qualify
for a Minnesota concealed-carry handgun permit.

Minnesota statute requires that all injuries involving a firearm be
reported to law enforcement.

Not me...just a bit of irony. Your buddy Herring says the NRA
instructors are first-rate. Apparently some...aren't.

Probably goes for highly-trained union officials too!

Oh, and I don't think I've ever said that NRA instructors were first-rate. I've never had one or
been to one.

But then again, Harry is well known for making up stories!

I am as proficient at shooting pistols as you are at being an ignorant,
hate-filled, right-wing asshole. Both take lots of practice.

How much does a proficient pistol shooter make now-a-days? You should
have stuck to cleaning out boilers.
