A NRA firearm instructor shot a student in the side of the leg.
The event took place in metro Orlando Florida about 4 years ago.
I agree that all safety and SOPs should be followed in a class environment.
Instructor & sworn LE officer Massad Ayoob wrote in the past that he would require students tape off the muzzle of their weapons & mag wells to prevent mishaps.

LE officers have tragic mistakes too. I read a item of 2 police officers in San Diego CA who had a ND. A Sgt wanted to show a patrol officer a tactical reloading drill & SHOT the cop by mistake. This event was around 2 years back.
