Meet Lee Paige

What’s the most embarrassing thing you could possibly do? I can’t think of anything definitive off the top of my head so let’s start with, say… shooting yourself during a gun safety demonstration. Especially after telling your audience that you are the only one in the room qualified to handle a firearm. That’s a good beginning.

Well, that’s exactly the case with Lee Paige, a Drug Enforcement Agency agent who shot himself in the foot during such a demonstration for Florida school children.

It gets better (well… worse actually). Now he is suing the government claiming that he’s become a laughingstock because of the video’s release. Well duh…

He does make somewhat of a valid point when he claims that the video’s distribution as the reason he can no longer work undercover. But still man, c’mon – no one told you to go and shoot your own self in the foot. There’s a good line at the end of the news report though: “He also notes that he is no longer ‘permitted or able to give educational motivational speeches and presentations.’” The hell you say…

I do give him credit for one thing though. He takes a gun shot wound to the foot like a champ. So that’s a feather in his cap…
