A man taking his trash to an apartment dumpster was shot and killed after he slipped while walking and the gun he was carrying went off accidentally, according to San Antonio police.

      I have a couple without external safeties. The idea is to carry them in a fitted holster that covers the trigger. Kydex holsters are like $25 or $30 for any given model, it’s a no-brainer.

      Also, they have internal safeties to prevent firing when dropped. Also, they have long and hard trigger pulls.

      Don’t buy those guns idiots

      You need to pass this wisdom on to thousands and thousands of police and military forces across the planet. Because Glock.

        Do you expect Lemmy to disagree with the implication that cops are fundamentally idiots?

          LOL, not a Glock fan, but the special forces guys dropped by camp this weekend and I got to shoot one. What can I say? I worked flawlessly, but I had to ask what it was when it was handed to me. Didn’t look like the typical black Glock.

      Also, if you’re an idiot, don’t buy any gun! You may think “I’ll do what I want, I’ll be fine!” This guy probably did, too…
