Yet another fatal ND

[swinokur]

Geez. The volume of these is becoming downright scary.

Train. Train. Train.

Please save the sarcasm about Glocks not having a real safety. This was not about that IMO.

1. All firearms are always loaded.
2. Never let your muzzle cover something you aren't willing to destroy.
3. Know your target and what's beyond it.
4. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.

5. go to 1 until memorized in your nuggen.

Oy..., feel bad for anyone that was in the room when it happened, that'll stay with you.


Just another reason to follow the basic rules, and to keep live ammo away from the weapon when demonstrating.

is there another link, keeps asking me to find a program for a download?

Unfortunately all it takes in a split second of carelessness.
Safety first always.
Even if you think you're sure, double check! Triple check!
Who cares if you look funny checking your gun multiple times, better safe than sorry.

“He removed the gun from the holster, removed the magazine and cleared the round from the chamber. After showing them the gun he replaced the magazine, and must have released the slide chambering another round

And there would be nothing wrong with that, if he intended to reload the gun, which if it was his EDC, I'm sure he meant to do that.

The gun then fired as the victim was waving it around his head.”

THAT is the real problem here.....safe direction rule, folks....

The common denominator besides safety infractions, are Glocks

My glock has serious issues it accidently discharges at stop signs, traffic signals, and mailboxes in rural areas J/K

 

[ADR]

Weapon operating as designed and to manufacturer's specs.

I do feel bad for the family.

And if you look closely, at the signs for 295 and 395 lol...

Why would he be waving it around his head, what would he be trying to demonstrate? Especially with his finger on the trigger???

I'll have you know that hot coffee does NOT feel good when it comes out one's nose. On the upside, no boogers.

Nothing like a hot pressure wash to clean things out. At least it wasn't brains. Funny how these things keep happening with Glock's though.

Glocks are at a price point where most people who want a firearm can buy one, they have a great reputation as being reliable, and they are just plain good weapons. Its the law of numbers, more glocks out there= a greater chance of something happening involving them as it would with a type of vehicle.

 

[swinokur]

Same reason Kimbers get more complaints. Sheer numbers in most cases. I have had 3 Glocks for years. I have not shot myself.

Maybe this guy was showing off and got careless.

Sad
