Kinda hard for me to find sympathy for (vet and SIG world champion) and (pistol champion and daughter of legend Jerry). Max just all of a sudden bounces. In one post Lena talks about her reaction to someone ND'ing at a match (bet yes, its prob a SIG SAUER P320), and the VERY next post she's leaving the SIG-sponsored shooting team same time as Max. All as the 320 debacle continues to weigh on SIG's reputation like a millstone. They've both been a part of that corporate team for nearly three decades, and would have WELL known of the 320s AlLeGeD issues. But there was a vast amount of profit to be made for someone at their level, with a company that has VERY deep pockets. I wish them all the best, they are both extremely skilled shooters, but in my mind I'll always see them as having that association and knowledge.

Student begins swinging at a staffer in WPUSD - Lincoln High School, just outside Sacramento, California on August 18th.

Proving (yet again) how failures in parenting translates to failures in children, the youth continues to follow the staffer who calmly works to remove the child from the assembly. One last shove, and in swoops the school's Public Safety Officer with the takedown. Students cheer.

I'm just speculating, but I'm guessing this is not the first instance of his behavior. Usually kids like that are well known at this point. Obviously another student took the video and posted it to X, which is where it then blew up on TMZ and other outlets.

P320 Saga (Cont.) The legal defense...A speculation.

*Two chuckle fks playing 'quick draw McGraw' with loaded service weapons, wherein one dude drops his and it discharges, killing Airmen Lovan*

Airmen knowing full well the history of the 320 and trying to deflect: It just went off...

So...The question remains did it get dropped, or were they pointing at each other and that 1mm of pressure got applied...

Or did one flat out shoot the other.

The arrested airman is accused of multiple crimes, including involuntary manslaughter, the Air Force said.

"Breaking" News:

Another federal jury recently concluded SIG SAUER's P320 is a "defectively designed" handgun and now brings the total number of federal cases concluding the faulty design to three. The officer, Mr. Jacques Desrosiers, will not receive financial compensation for his injuries as the jury still cited him for using a knowingly faulty firearm (guess the VTU didn't work), but he is content that the manufacturer has yet again failed at deflecting ownership amid a jury of peers.

No word from U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) (not like any was expected) as relates to the handgun's design and the death of an Airmen last month when his M17 discharged into his chest.
