Not every handgun has a manual safety. Many people prefer a concealed carry weapon to not have one. You still need to pull the trigger to fire those weapons, and if your finger isn’t on the trigger, it won’t just “go off.”
Egad. This is bad. Shooting the guy with his own gun while trying to extract it.
To be fair, it sounds dangerous trying to extract a handgun from a holster while the person is seated in his car. Nothing about that sounds safe.
But I guess that is how they have to do it? After all, I am guessing you wouldn’t want someone pulling it out with their own hand to give to the police officer.
But having someone else pull it out sounds more awkward and dangerous.
The guy sounds like he did everything right.
friggin women cops and fire fighters man....absolutely worthless.
Ah. I read further down where they said the officer doesn’t have to remove the holstered weapon. Officer didn’t know the procedures then.
Ugh.
They had no business disarming that man over a traffic stop. The cops instigated every minute of this and OWN it.
Why not just show the cop your permit, what's with the cop disarming this person????
She had two fingers inside the trigger guard and used them to pull his gun out of the holster.
For his safety..............🙄
AGGGGHHHHHH! It would be awkward under any circumstance even if there was some kind of valid reason to remove it, but doing it that way...!!!!
Crazy.
Move that Moron DEI hire to Former Pres Lady McBiden .
She loved her DEI .
I am absolutely going to check the law in my locality, because...I don't know what they are allowed to do.
No matter what, that sounds damned dangerous.
BS on your thinking.
The copchick defied the 2nd rule of firearms handling.
Cops are not necessarily the best trained. She is liable.
Oh good!!
Pause for that instant so I can close with you.
A firearm with an empty chamber is an expensive paperweight.
It’s an excessive liability if you cannot be the first to fight.
Nobody will pause their attack in order for you to arm yourself. Lose your fear of a loaded chamber.
I don’t go to places where I expect to have to quick draw. I walk at night in town and if I am about to be lynched, I will have the 2 seconds needed.
That's outdated. The training for quite some time has been to use tourniquets if it's arterial.
The risk of losing a limb has been overhyped. The training that said "you need to loosen the tourniquet every x minutes" has also been debunked.

The lesson from that scene, Always have an opinion.
“I think I’ll just take off the holster while driving.”
We have practiced that in Az forever. We either put it on the dash where they can see it before they walk up, or put it in the glovebox. It is not wise to keep it on your person, especially concealed. You are going to have to go through this very thing that happened here if you have it on your person when you get pulled over. Inform them and they will secure it during the detainment.
“Counting on a law enforcement officer to safely disarm you seems like a bad bet.”
Folks argue with me all the time about this, but I pull the clip and clear it so that it is already unloaded and secured for them before I stow it. Just takes a couple seconds to put the clip in and pull the slide if I need it. It removes the “loaded firearm” claim from the equation completely if there is a misunderstanding of some sort during detainment.
“The burden of proving an individual is not eligible to carry a concealed firearm falls on the investigating officer and is not an automatic presumption,” the memo reads. “Unless an officer has articulable suspicion that the detained person presents a threat to the safety of citizens or officers or has knowledge that the detained person is ineligible to carry a concealed firearm, officers should not seize a firearm (i.e. remove it from holster, vehicle, pocket, bag, etc.) from someone lawfully carrying it.”
Because this right here is NEVER EVER the case... You are ALWAYS guilty of being a lethal threat before you prove your innocence even if you are NOT armed... It is ALWAYS an automatic presumption and even one slightest wrong move can get you killed. Reaching for your wallet too fast can get you killed. If you are a lady reaching for your purse too fast can get you killed. They are far too jumpy because of this automatic presumption of guilt...
Well, there is your problem.
I believe that we should start requiring Air Rifle and pistol matches between HS JROTC. At least that will get the basics of firearm safety taught in schools.
She probably already got hired and is working for another agency in the state.
