Impressed?

Wise, albeit sarcastic, comments from a student in NY:

"The wisdom of P Burris' School-of-Gun-Handling!

Burris told reporters that he was (illegally) carrying his Glock pistol inside the waistband of his jeans, Mexican-style (no holster). As he ascended a stairway in the seedy NYC 'club' he frequented, he felt the pistol slipping down his leg, grabbed for it, and 'touched the trigger.' It is unclear if he grabbed from outside his jeans or from inside.

He claims he neither felt nor heard the single discharge, and was aware ' something was wrong' only when he saw blood on his trousers and shoes.

When asked why he didn't wear a holster, we are treated to the classic understatement: '... uh, that was a mistake.' "

Comment: Why is it that rich people, no matter how they acquired their wealth, sincerely believe they must be geniuses and therefore, be it with airplanes or guns, they are just too good to lower themselves enough to be exposed to competent training.

As Burris dolefully discovered, glib bimbos at his Club may be impressed his status, and interminably forgiving of his blunders.

Ammunition, Glocks, and gravity are not!
