Gun safety instructor shoots student

Oh the irony. An Ohio man was shot in the arm. At a gun safety class.

Michael Piemonte was attending a concealed-carry class with his wife Alison in central Ohio's Fairfield County over the weekend. Such classes are required for anyone wanting carry a concealed weapon in the state.

There were 29 students in the lecture-type class, Piemonte said. He was sitting in the front row.

While the instructor was demonstrating a self-defense techniques, the gun went off.

    And these people want to carry guns in more public places including schools? Who is crazier them or us for letting this guy teach a gun safety class. What ever happened to "Never point a gun at anyone unless you intend to shoot them?

    Wow, defies moronic! Who in his/her right mind conducts a gun safety class with a loaded gun and points it at the class?

    Guns don't kill people, safety instructors with guns kill people.

    I don't see what the big deal is... the shooter was just recruiting for the GOP and the NRA.
