After gaining entry, deputies noticed what appeared to be gunshot wound to the left leg/thigh area, and the man was deceased.
Deputies located handgun magazine on the drivers side floor-board and handgun on the edge of the passengers seat. Dillon reportedly had his cell phone in his hand.
Deputies taped off the scene and waited for Scioto County Sheriff's Detective Jodi Conkel to arrive.
"It looks like he was cleaning his gun and shot himself accidentally in the groin area and bled out," Scioto County Sheriff's Captain David Hall said.
I really doubt he was "Cleaning" his gun, I think he may have been in process of unloading it
Attention Ohioans
The Ohio Revised Code still requires informing LE when stopped, seems some instructors are telling students it is no longer a requirement.

Day 2
Day 2 of Glock Instructor School
Well good news on two fronts no exciting brass dancers, and it was about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday
Lots and lots of drills, emergency reloads, speed loads, tactical reloads, and retention drills.
Drills at 1 yard, 2 yards, 4 yards, 7 yards, 15 yards, and 25 yards
The trigger finger is blistered and sore, and the second finger is about rubbed raw, from the trigger guard
There were precision drills, speed drills, and timed drills, walking forward drills, and walking backwards drills, there were one handed drills and stoppage drills
Shot to practice qualifications, one untimed, and one timed, Missed the first one as I didn't fire 6 shots that I should have, but I lost count, the timed on I made it, so hopefully I will tomorrow, when it counts.
The Stoner holster is working much better today, as it is starting to break in, I had only picked it up about a week ago, and didn't get a chance to work it until yesterday, but today the draws were much smoother
So now I just need some Advil, and an icepack for my hand

Glock Instructor Workshop
Day one
Well turns out to be a small class there were 7 students, but right after lunch, one guy from Cleveland got a casing down his shirt and did 2 360's on range, sweeping me another student, and the Instructor twice.
Seemed like a nice enough guy, but he also seemed wired a little too tight, first off he was an hour late, then when we started loading mags, he misplaced one of his and got a bit accusatory, then found it in his back pocket, then right after lunch, I found him messing with his holster, he had a Blackhawk Sherpa 2, and he disabled the lever, he said it wasn't working right, it was shortly after that that he did his dance, and got dismissed, I really think he had just physicked himself out
The drills so far are pretty simple a mix of speed and precision
We did have a one shot shooting contest for a Streamlight flashlight, me and the officer from Owensboro tied we had to shoot a 3/4 inch sticker at 5 yards, whoever had the closest center hit on the sticker won, and we were both cut the center so close the Instructor declared a tie, so we each got a light, said it was the first time he had had a tie, in an instructor class, in 7 years
Of course I found it interesting myself and Mad Duck alumni make up half of the class
The trigger on my Gen 4 Model 17, is chewing up my trigger finger, but other than the 25 yard drill I'm keeping them in there, at 25 yards, I dropped one low, and had one miss
It was hot today, and no type of shade on range, and the classroom AC blew out this morning, they did get it repaired, but not till after lunch, tomorrow is suppose to be cooler
Ok well gonna chill out, get some dinner and crash
7 years?
Yep this blog has turned 7 today
I know the posting of late has been light, and hope that changes soon
Life does seem to be keeping me busy, and Mad Duck Training seems to be growing, of course being a realist I know it could just be part of the panic bubble we have had in the firearms business this year.
Like Tom Givens said the way to make a small fortune as a firearms trainer, is start with a large one.
