Man accidentally shot with officer's stray bullet

19. Just like a police revolver, which the Glock was designed to emulate.

These idiots carry Glocks, they do not have a safety or decocking mechanism what Glock refers to as a safety is a small lever that sits in the middle of the trigger and the only thing required to shoot is to pull the trigger no other safety to disengage .. if there is a round chambered it is hot to go with only a trigger pull ..

Just like a police revolver, which the Glock was designed to emulate. A DA/SA will also go off if you put your finger in the trigger guard and pull the trigger, as will every other double-action or striker-fired design intended to be carried with the safety off. The only pistols that would be commonly carried in the hand with the safety on are those with a 1911 style thumb-rest safety (because the 1911 is carried with the hammer cocked), but carrying with your finger on the trigger is *still* a stupid violation of one of the fundamental rules of gun safety, namely keep your damn finger off the damn trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to shoot.

If his finger was off the trigger instead of pulling it, the gun would not have fired, even if it were thrown off a 3-story building and landed on concrete.
