Officer Accidently Shoots Man With His Own Gun While Disarming Him During Traffic Stop

A routine traffic stop turned into a nightmare when a cooperative, legally armed citizen was shot in the leg with his own gun while a female officer was attempting to disarm him in Jacksonville, Florida.

This story made me furious! Here’s what happened:

🔲The Incident: Legally armed driver Edward Arrington informed Officer Mindy Cardwell that he had a gun on his person and followed all instructions.

As the officer attempted to remove the holstered gun, she struggled, causing Arrington to suggest loosening his belt for easier removal.

Despite this, Cardwell forcefully tugged at the firearm multiple times. When she finally removed it, she unintentionally placed multiple fingers inside the trigger guard, causing the gun to discharge and strike Arrington in the leg.

🔲The Aftermath: Officers immediately called for help and applied a tourniquet to Arrington’s leg. Thankfully, he survived, but this could have been much worse.

🔲The Problem: This wasn’t just a freak accident—it was a direct result of poor training and negligence. A holstered firearm is secure for a reason, and removing it improperly puts everyone at risk.

This story highlights the critical need for improved firearm training within law enforcement. Officers must be prepared to handle interactions with armed citizens responsibly, especially in a country where constitutional carry is becoming the norm.

👍 What are your thoughts on this incident? Should law enforcement prioritize better firearm training?
