The Idiocracy: Soda Springs Firearm Safety Gets A Little Crazy

From Eastern Idaho's LocalNews8.com:

No one was hurt when a 9 mm handgun discharged during a hunter education class in Soda Springs Monday night.

Region 5 Idaho Fish and Game Supervisor Mark Gamblin has asked the Soda Springs Police Department to investigate. The instructor has been dismissed.

Gamblin says Fish and Game prohibits a hunter education instructor from bringing live ammunition into a classroom. According to police, the volunteer instructor brought the handgun and ammunition to class for a demonstration. Unaware the gun was loaded, they say one of the students discharged the weapon after the demonstration.

The bullet hit a mounted mule deer head.  Fish and Game said counseling would be made available to anyone in the class who wants it.
