Oops is, yet again, a gub term

Josh Voorhees has a Slate article via the Columbus, Ohio Dispatch (where the original was written by Mary Beth Lane) about someone who should have known better:

A firearms instructor accidentally shot a student while teaching a gun-safety class in Lancaster, Ohio, in Fairfield County, to people seeking permits to carry concealed weapons.
Terry J. Dunlap Sr., who runs a shooting range and training center at 6995 Coonpath Road near Lancaster, was demonstrating a handgun when he fired a .38-caliber bullet that ricocheted off a desk and into student Michael Piemonte’s right arm. (Dunlap, 73, also is a long-time Violet Township trustee running for re-election in November.)
Yesterday, Piemonte said he feels lucky, and it could have been worse. He and his wife, Allison, both 26 and residents of Pataskala in Licking County, attended the daylong concealed-carry class together. “My wife was sitting just inches away from me,” he said. “It could have easily hit her.” Dunlap apparently didn’t know that the gun was loaded, Piemonte said: “That’s my guess.”
The bullet was slowed down by hitting the desk first. It then ricocheted into Piemonte’s right arm between his elbow and armpit, he said.
Among the 29 students in the class were several nurses who helped stabilize Piemonte after the shooting about 7:30 pm. A medic squad took him to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in Columbus, and he was released that night, Piemonte said. “I am thankful that it only ended up being in my arm, and didn’t hit my wife or individuals sitting at the desk behind me.”
Piemonte is studying for his teaching degree at Ohio State University’s Newark campus and plans to teach elementary school. He said he and his wife, who already has her teaching degree, decided to apply for concealed-carry permits for their own general safety and not specifically for classroom safety.
No charges have been filed. An incident report filed by the responding deputy with the county sheriff’s office called it an accidental shooting.
Dunlap did not return a telephone message seeking comment.

Rico says that Dunlap is doubtless now learning to say: "Do you want fries with that?"
