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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
