From the part of the article I didn't post:
"It’s an elite handgun intended for law enforcement and military personnel who may need to fire it with split second notice. Hence, it has a hair trigger in single-action mode. Even among well-trained users, it has a lengthy history of accidental discharges.
..."The SIG Sauer in Lopez Sanchez’s case has three features prone to accidents: 1. No safety lever, making it perpetually ready for firing. 2. Manufacturer-issued trigger pull of 4.4 pounds of force (in single-action mode), which is among the lightest on the market. 3. An unlabeled decocking lever despite being essential to disengage the single-action mode. (The SIG Sauer safety manual urges “DO NOT THUMB THE HAMMER DOWN the consequences can be serious injury or death — only and ALWAYS use the decocking lever.”)"
What Red State fails to mention is that the trigger pull is 10 lbs in DA mode.
But that is irrelevant to my point that all guns fire by pulling the trigger and have for 700+ years so being “unfamiliar” with the gun’s operation is nonsense.
You can’t tell me that if I brought a sig Sauer into the movie theater tonight and bumped it accidentally and killed someone in there, that I should be acquitted.
