Did that Glock go off half-cocked?

***Police say Ellingford mistakenly pulled the trigger as he stuffed the weapon back into his pants.***

I remember reading of this happening to another man quite a few years ago. He lost some very important body parts.

Before I read the comments how far in do I have to go before the half cocked joke. My guess is 12.

Stupid bastard had a round in the chamber and pointed the weapon at his valuables.

Wudda maroon.

Muzzle discipline; trigger discipline. Or pay the cost.

My grandchildren treat firearms as if they were glowing red hot. No touch’em. But I still keep chambers empty until it’s time to fire.

He was obviously not into the gun culture. Everyone gun owner I know would break a handgun down before showing it to someone.

Mexican carry with a Glock is especially stupid. And I wouldn’t bet against you (on the alcohol).

We had a negligent discharge at a gun show here in the Atlanta area over the weekend. I was very pleased the guy they talked to in the news report described it as a “negligent discharge”, a term I approve of, and not as an “accidental discharge”, a term I abhor.

Clearly this grocery store case was a negligent discharge.

Agree. Have 3 and would not recommend them to noobs looking for a first gun.

I never recommend anything but a revolver (or single shot) for new shooters.

I’ve been shooting for 40 years and I don’t even trust myself with a semi-auto. I don’t shoot enough times (probably that’s the problem) to be proficient and feel safe with it.
