>No surprise there..and if he was charged with anything I'm sure his police union would defend him vigorously.
>This is also equally disturbing: "...."He took all the precautions, he's a trained law enforcement officer, trains with weapons all the time."
>Deputy Fanning also works as a school resource officer at Lebanon's Sam Houston Elementary....' - Needless to say I don't have to go into all the things I see wrong with THAT statement. Now if the people involved here would of been not been a cop, from a poor inner-city neighborhood and black, I'm sure the reaction would be a tad different - there would be charges filed and the statement would start out with "He did not take precautions...".


I think Victor we are victims of some kind of prank, we've been told repeatedly here by the UT Gun Experts that this kind of accidents with guns only happen for the lack of education of the gun owners, that they are trained and know how to handle weapons and they have them locked so accidents like this will never happen to a highly trained gun owner, and now CNN wants me to believe that an officer of the law, with multiple guns in his house, all locked and properly handled ended up in the hands of a 4 year old? I call bs!

The other thing that they constantly repeat is that if not a gun would be killers would use a knife with the same result, but everyone is silent about the Texas knife spree, where the guy tried to kill "en mass" but he was only able to injure 14, 2 critical. Yep, exactly the same if they guy had tried with guns, eh?
