    Default Another Faulty Sig Sauer...

    I think they use a Sig Sauer P229 in .357 Sig...maybe the Sig was faulty. Remember a Secret Service agent is highly trained with a college degree...LMAO

    Man, that sucks how the gun just "went off as the agent was putting it back in its holster". Sounds like a defective gun. Perhaps a lawsuit agains the manufacturer is in order.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Having worked 3 different presidential campaigns... I find most Agents to be nice and professional.

    everyone has a bad day once in a while........... not as bad as this one most the time... but bad days happen.

    For arguements sake, Im gonna call BS on this theory and blame the SS Agent for having his finger on the trigger and when his finger was caught on the holster as it was inserted, the pressure forced the trigger to be depressed and fired right into his leg.

    Guns dont just go off by themselves fualty or not. Its 99.9999% of the time the person making a mistake related to safety and or trigger dicipline saefty violation.
