A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the DEA agent who shot himself in the leg during a gun safety demonstration and later became a punch line when video of the incident surfaced online and was widely broadcast on TV. Agent Lee Paige, 50, contended that the leak of the video--for which he blamed DEA officials--amounted to a violation of his privacy rights. However, in a December 29 order, Judge Jack Shanstrom rejected that claim and dismissed Paige’s U.S. District Court complaint in its entirety. Paige, who worked undercover, claimed that the video’s distribution resulted in him becoming the “target of jokes, derision, ridicule, and disparaging comments” everywhere he went.

“I am the only one in the room professional enough, that I know of, to carry this Glock 40.” It was at that point, of course, that Paige shot himself in the leg.

Actually to be perfectly correct it does have a safety in the form of a small "trigger within a trigger". Not that I, or anyone that knows weapons, would ever really consider that a safety.

But alas....the DEA agent is still a complete dumba$$.
