An unnamed off-duty Detroit police officer accidentally shot his girlfriend in Lyon Township last week, according to Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies.
According to the sheriff’s press release, “He indicated that he had previously unloaded his department issued firearm, believed it to still be unloaded, and was demonstrating building search techniques. He stated that while doing so he accidentally discharged the weapon, striking his girlfriend in the chest.”
The girlfriend confirmed the accidental shooting while at the hospital.
“The victim explained to detectives her boyfriend was showing her how to safely handle a firearm when her boyfriend accidentally shot her,” the sheriff’s report stated. |

Not an accident. Negligence.
Cardinal rules of gun safety:
1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded, even if you know it isn't.
2. Never point a gun at something you don't want to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Had he observed any one of them he wouldn't have shot her. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
