Adjusting his Glock. Ouch that had to hurt.

 

[Hunterdad]

Makes me sweat just thinking about it.

...knees involuntarily come together....

 

[223man]

He certainly rates a Darwin (dis)honorable mention.

 

[Dnaltrop]

Poster boy for the "use a good holster" club.

At least I only risk shooting myself in the Keester at 5'oclock with the IWB...

 

[Slamfire]

Another reason why I don't like those striker fired handguns. I prefer the operating system on the Walther P5 and the SIG: a decocker, first round either a long double action pull, or you thumb cock it.

Much more difficult to shoot your self.

 

[MrDig]

Gives new meaning to "Reckless Discharge" doesn't it?

 

[sonick808]

well, he had to defeat 2 internal safeties and an external safety; he obviously snagged the trigger with some serious force. Mexican carry I'm assuming

 

[303tom]

Been me, it would have missed.

 

[gp911]

Proof that Glocks do indeed come with a decocker. Hey now!

 

[FreddyKruger]

^ZING!

i'll pay that one HAHA

Might have been a smart carry holster. I would never carry a Glock that way.


Kinda makes me think of this fellow. Not the same, but shows that ya gotta be real careful.

I will be praying for that poor boy ...................... he needs all the help he can get.

 

[Esoxchaser]

Only in Birmingham would they think of charging him. Wouldn't shooting your pecker be enough punishment?

My wife is wondering what the heck I'm laughing at

Actually he didn't have to defeat any safeties, all he had to do was put a few pounds of pressure on the trigger.

Best line of 2012!

 

[Centurian22]

Gp911 LMAO!!! Good one.

 

[scaatylobo]

when it discharged at 11:15 a.m.

I am very familiar with all the body parts,so where is the 11:15 on the human body ?.

I carry a G-23 "mexican" and dont have any fear that it will discharge - EVER.

Its in a Dale Fricke Zacchaeus holster,and there is NO way I can have an ND,AD,etc.

 

[Texan Scott]

mmm... bet from now on, he packs a snubby, bobbed.

Dang, you beat me to it! Haha.

You mean along with a stubby, Bobbitized?

scaatylobo, inappropriately enough, 11:15 would be the 'short hand' bent slightly to the left of front and center.

 

[Skribs]

That kind of firearm handling is nuts! I'm sorry, was that pun a low blow? Well, I guess I had the cohones to say it, but this guy...

Okay, I'm done. Although I did have a firearm-related mishap today. Banged my elbow on my carry piece as I was petting the cat. My whole hand went numb. Hit the nerve.

 

[gp911]

It was a through & through shot, according to the article. Good penetration, must have been ball ammo.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
