There, fixed that for you.SharpsDressedMan said:HOW TO PREVENT [strike]GLOCK[/strike] UNINTENTIONAL DISCHARGES WITH ANY FIREARM: 1) Keep your finger (or other objects, like a goofy holster) out of the trigger guard until ready to INTENTIONALLY fire the gun. 2) Review #1.
Was this negligent? Yes. Was it unintended? YES. Was it accidental? YES.
The words aren't mutually exclusive people. We are the most intellectually capable critters to ever walk this Earth. We are more than capable of parsing a situation more complex than just slapping a single adjective on a situation.
Stories like this are why I carry a Glock. If I ever have an ND with unfortunate consequences, I'll just scrunch up my holster or shirt and stuff it in the trigger guard before the authorities arrive.Incidents like these are one reason why I carry a DA/SA Sig.
NJ State Police had problems with their then newly issued P7's.talking about the number of AD that they have had.
I'm skeptical that the trigger was pulled by the holster. How did he manage to get the gun holstered prior to this event? He would have needed to push that wrinkle out of the way somehow. Index finger through the triggerguard maybe & pushed the gun down before getting the finger out?
