re: Man kills wife, 22 weeks pregnant, cleaning a loaded firearm

they loaded cotton rounds in a revolver, and you had to take the weapon from the other trainee, before he could shoot you. We named one guy Cotton. No shite, he got peppered about 20 times before he was successful. When we went to lunch, he lifted his shirt and he looked like he had 20 bee stings where he kept getting nailed.

We just had rubber ducks. I got popped in the side of the head during a disarming gone wrong. Those things are hard rubber.

I did hear one story during DT that was interesting.

After a successful disarm you weren't allowed to hand the weapon back to your partner. You had to toss it on the ground. The reasoning behind that was an officer disarmed a suspect with a gun to the back of his head and then proceeded to hand the gun back to the suspect because that's how he did it in training. Not sure I believe that story.
