Screaming, "I HAVE A GUN!"
Stories like the one coming out of Ohio are why I am grateful that in Colorado there is no requirement to notify. I'm not even going to comment on the rest of the B.S. in the linked video.

Stop Playing With It
Denver cop shoots himself in the hand while playing with it in the bathroom.
Seriously, stop playing with it.

I Don't Think He Knows What That Means
Saw an interesting article in the Denver Post yesterday. Apparently the DA was concerned that a Denver police officer used "unauthorized ammunition" in his Smith & Wesson poodle shooter.
Personally I was more concerned that two officers opened fire on bad guy with gun and managed to not only completely miss said bad guy, but also hit innocent bystanders. If you want to hit what you are aiming at practice, practice, practice. It sounds to me like these two LEOs should hit the range a bit more often.
ETA:
A bit more info can be found at the Denver DA's website. Included in the report is a picture of the M&P 15 used to miss the suspect. One thing that jumps out at me is that he is using iron sights...at 2 A.M. Maybe the use of a red dot isn't authorized by the department either.

A Big Thank You
At the beginning of every day at work, I sit in a room with about 20 other guys and we discuss a safety topic before actually getting to work. The topic on the last day of the week is always the same. Keep your mind on your task. Don't start daydreaming about going home and end up injured. I like to think I do a pretty good job of this.
My problem this last week was that once I headed for home I took my mind off of the job in front of me, namely driving. Thanks to daylight savings time, when I started my trip it was nice and bright outside. By the time I got a few more than several miles down the road though it was starting to get dark. That was when Officer Woodam saw me and escorted me to the side of the road to inform me that a steel blue truck kinda disappears in the dusk when said blue truck does not have its lights on.
I thanked officer Woodam, but I'm not sure she believed me. So once again, a big thank you to someone who, by just doing their job, kept me safe and let me get home to my family in one piece.
