the majority of ND that i hear about with guns / glocks comes when re holstering the firearm, and i fail to see how a grip safey will help you there, that being said if one really wante extra safety on a glock, the get one of those cross bolt triggers and further more does anyone doubt that if this would have been a private citizen that the story would have read "reckless gun handleing" "irresponcable" "unacceptable" "neglegenct" as opposed to how it reads now with "It's an accident. It could absolutely happen to anyone" i am not saying that a ND could not happen to me but i can say that i would never put a known loaded gun somwhere loose to rattle around with things that will have agood chance of discharging it. |

Proper gun handling includes paying attention to what you are doing. She did neither, if the story is accurate. Quite simple. To speculate, even with a manual safety, the way she must have grabbed the barrel and dragged it toward her, she could have disengaged a manual safety by dragging the gun along the floor of the trunk. Sure Glocks elliminate one more step, but its just as easy to handle a Glock safely as any alternative. Trigger got pulled, nobody's fault but her own. The media's approach to these incidents doesn't seem to change. |
