Officer shot when 6yo pulls trigger of holstered duty weapon

[SteveM4A1]

Obviously you should never carry one in the chamber.
OC is bad.
Kids are bad.
Holster selection is irrelevant, and thigh rigs are COOOOL!!!!
Situational Awareness means it only happens to the other guy.
Cops are stupid.
There is video from a nearby drone but Obama won't release it.

Did I leave anyone out?

When has that EVER happened on INGO?!?

I had hopes for the broader segments of the population. Perhaps I am a blissninny now. EGAD!

Kid and parents are no where to be found=cop fired weapon when re-holstering...

This is what I am thinking, but I don't want to cast judgement too soon. It just seems strange that the cop wouldn't grab the kid and have them present to file a report--but of course, he was shot, so who knows. Just sayin', it is weird that someone didn't know who the kid was eh?

Like this guy?

Why? I didn't hear anything about the gun being defective.

I've been carrying Glocks since 1993. Haven't shot myself, yet.

Watched the video and the officer said they want to find the parents to find out if it was intentional. Are you kidding me!?!

if your gun gets taken, you shouldn't be shot by it, just saying

Manual safety would prevent that? 1/10 of a second to flip it off an a fancy 1911

First thing the bad guy does is try to pull the trigger, that will give you time to kick him in the co-jones, most bad guys don't know how to work a frame mounted safety

Most bad guys don't snatch guns out of holsters either

Guys I'm not a glock hater, i have plenty of glocks, but not to carry, i keep one hidden in the trunk of my ATV

 

[Cameramonkey]

Thats it! Im gonna go put my Serpas on the classifieds. No more OC for me! I thought you were kidding about the 5yo's taking your gun from you!

I'm curious as to what training, experience, or other source you have for this assertion.

 

[Dirtebiker]

Great situational awareness officer!
they want to interview the kid!? To find out what his intention was? WTH?
Oh, and blame the holster, because it was made to fit the gun with flashlight. Blame everything EXCEPT the cop that didn't keep the kid away from his gun.

 

[bingley]

Was the officer professional enough to handle a Glock? That's what I'm wondering about.

Ban Guns at School Events!!!




wait a minute, did we already do that?

This comment made me laugh pretty good:

Glocks have a hair trigger and no safety. They are dumb and dangerous. You can breathe on them too hard, and they will go off.

Damn hair-trigger I tell you - gun goes of when I breathe 6 pounds of pressure onto it... wait... what?

 

[45 LongColt]

Wow. Looks to me like the average citizen needs to confiscate an officers gun when they stop YOU. "Ok officer, had over your piece while you write me that ticket"!

Maybe he meant "most six year old bad guys don't know how to work a frame mounted safety".
