3 important points about this topic...

I agree with these last few members and would include these 3 points;

1) LE, military, security/protective services, or armed citizen training programs should not try to "save $$$" by using methods or equipment that could cause or be a part of accidents/unsafe conditions. To my limited knowledge, Glock makes & sells a different blue framed duty pistol for military/LE that only uses training rounds. These special items may cost more but are safer than having students/cadets kill or injury themselves.
2) All weapons, ammunition and equipment should be kept secured when not in use. Students or LE officers that have firearms should be cleared or have cadre/instructors do safety checks to avoid mistakes.
3) Students or officers may have different skill levels or training. I've seen that often on qualification ranges in my area. Everyone should know & understand the basic safety rules during training classes or ranges. Unsafe acts or problems should be addressed ASAP.

Safety and training should be taken seriously. About 4mo ago, a local NRA instructor shot a student in the leg during a class. These events can be avoided.
