Most cops in the US(inb4 I said professionals, not pigs!) carry Glocks, which only have a trigger safety. Which from a use standpoint is basically no safety.

There’s also the mechanism on the grip. Glocks have pretty reliable safety mechanisms even if they dont have a switch.

That’s how Plaxico Burress shot himself. Carried a Glock into a club and had an “accidental discharge”. The proper term is negligent discharge, and the only possible way to get that is to fully clasp the grip and pull the trigger.

Yeah. He reached inside to “adjust” it, clasped the grip and put his finger on the trigger to move it around, and blammo! Shot himself in the thigh. So much stupidity to lead to a negligent discharge. Why is anyone even bringing a firearm to a nightclub where alcohol is being served? Plax, you’re rich, if you’re worried hire a bodyguard. Lots of famous people do. Then you can get blitzed while Anthony keeps his eyes on the crowd.
