Teachable Moments: NRA Safety Instructor Shoots Pupil

NRA gun safety instructor Michael Phillips, 32, experienced something of a teachable moment in class when he accidentally shot one of his students this week in Orlando.

Robert Frauman Jr., 50, was shot in the foot during an NRA class for certification for a concealed weapon. The course was being taught at the Summit Church and the bullet first passed through a table. The Church has indicated that it will not be holding firearms classes in the future.

Notably, the NRA has a rule against bringing ammunition into such classes. Orlando has a history of all-too-real gun safety courses. In 2004, a DEA agent was showing kids how to confirm that a gun was unloaded when he shot himself in the thigh.
