You can't make this stuff up. The only thing lacking is video.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass.—A firearms instructor in southern Massachusetts has been assigned to other duties after his gun accidentally went off while he was teaching a class on weapons safety.
Officials say the Glock handgun discharged while Maj. Donald Lamar was demonstrating to Bristol County deputy sheriffs how to safely holster the weapon.

The bullet ripped a hole in Lamar's pants but missed his leg and foot.

Sheriff Thomas Hodgson says the officer made a "gross error in judgment" by not emptying the weapon before the class last week.

Lamar, a certified firearms instructor since 2005, was transferred to another division and will not carry a firearm while the incident is being investigated.

Whoopsie #1: Not unloading the gun

Whoopsie #2: The trigger guard is not a butt crack. Instructor needs to get finger out of the former and stick it back in the latter right next to his head.
