Glocks are very common in actual cop and military use and have no real safety (just a small anti-snag thing on the trigger).
The Glock also has a mechanism on the grip that must be depressed. The only way to make the gun go off is to hold it like you’re going to shoot it and pull the trigger.
They have this because too many people got shot while in danger, and they couldn’t get the safety off their gun.
there are people who carry with no safety mechanism whatsoever
Really? What kind of gun doesn’t have a safety? They’ve been a part of firearms since the 19th century. You have to go back to the age when craftsmen made guns to find them without safeties.
Not a kind of gun you would carry, but I one an old shotgun that just has a trigger and a hammer
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.
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.
he had it in his waistband, if I recall correctly. for extra stupidity points.
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.
I vaguely recall some operator types believing that their fingers are safe enough and don’t follow much gun safety stuff. I think I believe it; special forces tend to be insular hyper-masculine (among other things) cultures.
I thought that shit was so cool when Eric Bana’s (fictional) character from Black Hawk Down did it
I was, like, 9 lmao
edit: omg my 69th comment!!!
I can’t read or hear the words Black Hawk Down without thinking Black Cock Down anymore because of the deprogram
