        Are there any updates on the employment status of the FBI agent? By the way, I think he won't get an invite to Dancing with the Stars --- for starters, he can't dance.

        Still unbelievable he never had the gun in a holster or locked.

        It was in a holster -- a concealed carry holster that fits inside the waistband. Very popular among people who carry concealed. But it won't necessarily preven tit from flying out when one does a backflip.

        If by “idiot” you mean “idiot” and “firecracker” you mean “loaded gun”, indeed.

        And yet people think Police and Military should have all the guns? Don't see the law abiding citizens doing this dumb crap.

        Yes, the FBI agent needs to be disciplined. No, it does not mean that every other person that carries a gun is going to shoot random people.
