That's the opening statement Glock's lawyer should tell the jury.
Short trial.
revolvers have fewer safety features than a Glock. Should Smith and Wesson and Colt be sued for manufacturing unsafe firearms too? I’m sure they will be if this lawsuit is successful of course (along with every other firearm manufacturer).
Know it all LEO. Probably wanted to shoot a few dogs at night.
Better to sue the manufacturer than set aside your ego and admit you fkkd up.
Would have expected more from someone with sworn status.
Two points.
#1, They’ve been manufacturing revolvers for about 175 years, and out of the millions and millions that have been made, only about two of them had a manual safety (and that was two more than necessary).
#2, The Glock in the photo has pignose.
Wait until Hillary becomes POTUS. She wants Firearm Manufacturers to be responsible for the Illegal Use of their Products.
I Guess the Automakers should be held to the same standard, especially after the Allah Akbar incident in Nice involving the Truck.
He didn't drop the gun, until after he shot himself I assume. When dropped, did it unexpectedly fire again?
This guy is going to lose, bigtime.
I’ve had multiple ‘loaded’ Glocks for years. Never had a problem.....
I have a Glock 19. I was out shooting it one day. After the last shot the slide locked back. I released the slide and it closed normally. Now you all know to disassemble a Glock you have to pull the trigger. What I didn’t realize was I had a failure to feed so there was a live round still in there. Guess what happened next.
“Don’t point a gun at something unless you intend to shoot it.”
Ever. One must always treat every gun as if it were loaded.
Pointed in a safe directon,,,
It go Boom?
Ditto
He used it 13 years and didn’t figure out the safety is on the trigger?
Sounds like a clear case of mishandling a loaded weapon. He wouldn’t get much sympathy from me.
You shot your foot? :-)
It’s a shame that he was hit in the foot, and not in the testicles.
Someone this stupid should not be allowed to breed!
Reminds me of this guy...

Agreed. Worn firearm, defective firearm, perfect firearm - if you follow the rules, you stay safe. Violate the rules, you might get away with it, even numerous times. Eventually your luck runs out and someone gets hurt.
He should have to pay a "stupid tax" just to handle a weapon.
My Sigs don’t have manual safeties either. I have rail mounted a couple Siglights without shooting myself, too.
