http://www.unionleader.com/pub...ng-facility-20170405 Man shot in leg at Sig Sauer's Epping training facility By JASON SCHREIBER Union Leader Correspondent EPPING - A man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg Wednesday when he accidentally shot himself during firearms training at Sig Sauer Academy, police said. Police and rescue personnel responded to the training facility at 233 Exeter Road just before noon after receiving a report of a man with a gunshot wound to his lower right calf. Police Capt. Jason Newman said the accidental shooting happened while the man was holstering a handgun during civilian training. Initial reports were the victim is 59 years old, but Newman was unable to confirm the age. The injured man was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Fire Chief Don DeAngelis said Sig Sauer has its own paramedics on hand to assist with such incidents, so the victim received immediate care. “They do such a great job treating and packaging so they’re ready to go when we get there. Sig Sauer is very responsive with their EMS,” DeAngelis said. The chief said there have been several such shootings at the training facility in recent years. In January 2016, a civilian student suffered an accidental gunshot wound to the leg. Sig Sauer Academy provides firearms and tactics training and is often used by law enforcement and military personnel, but instruction also is available to civilians. Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it! - John Steinbeck | ||

"several"?  That'd be a nice paramedic gig to have, though! Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

Enough people, over time, handling many weapons, all functions involved, things can happen. Noone is immune to a accident. | |||

That was my thought. Block, or maybe SIG P320. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

After having the pleasure of meeting several of the staff up there, and watching them host people, I have no doubt they could fix one up from a gsw as well as any medical team, barring complications such as broken bones and such. They could also probably hold off Canada from invading our Country as well. No offense, Canadian members. With the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of rounds shot there each year, there are certainly going to be unfortunate training accidents. Hopefully the shooter/shootee will make a quick and full recovery. Clarior Hinc Honos BSA Dad, Cheer Dad | |||
