Where's Bucko?

We would see several misfires a year at the Baltimore City Police pistol range, particularly from recruits and younger officers. During time trial shooting they would get nervous and start to pull the trigger as the pistol (Glock) is drawn from the holster. Some shot themselves in the leg/knee/foot....others were lucky to miss and hit the ground. During annual qualification I learned NEVER to shoot next to a recruit or young officer I didn't know. As most of the training officers were previous Tactical Officers, SWAT etc., and I spent most of my career in Tactical and knew them, we that had good shooting skills would shoot together. There's a phone call..."Sorry Mrs. police wife but your husband was gunned down at the pistol range".
