That seems stupid, using a gun as a flashlight I mean. I don't know anything about that situation, but I suppose I would come to that same conclusion if I found any articles about it, or had even heard about it.

Call a spade a spade. If the cop was being an idiot, he was an idiot. I simply cannot speak to every story I hear about though.

When it comes to my own stuff, I go to a private range and the people there are serious about safety. Anyone I associate with would likely also take a gun away from an idiot as quick as I would and nobody would give two-fucks if they were a cop or not.
