Well, at least he didn't shoot his mouth off.

(Orlando, Florida-AP) April 14, 2006 - A federal agent who accidentally shot himself in the foot while telling kids about gun safety says he's become the butt of too many jokes - so he's suing his employer.
Lee Paige told a group of Orlando, Florida children that he was the only one in the room professional enough to handle a gun. Moments later, he shot himself.
Paige was then suspended for five days without pay, and the videotape of the shooting was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
But the tape soon began making the rounds of the Internet and late-night talk shows.
The lawsuit contends the tape was leaked by the DEA and that the subsequent publicity subjected Paige to "derision" and "ridicule."

Now I have a few questions here.
1. What was he doing with a loaded weapon in the school?
2. When did he chamber the bullet so it could be fired?
3. Did he sleep through gun safety class?

Instead of him suing the DEA, the parent and teachers of the school should be suing him and the DEA.
He is upset because he feels the DEA made the subject of ridicule.
No I think shooting yourself in the foot makes you the subject of ridicule.
