The officer fortunately will be okay. It's another example of the need for training and trigger discipline. It adds to the debate as to whether a handgun should have a safety. It's also another example to dispel the lie that you don't need a firearm because the police have them.

Actually, this event is an example of why regular people should be armed and that’s because clowns with badges are also armed.

The gun is a SIG Sauer I guess we can't call it "Glock Leg" anymore.

A closer inspection of the video shows Officer Schroeder’s finger was inside the trigger guard. Hobart-Lawrence Police Chief Michael Renkas tells our sister station WISN Officer Schroeder couldn’t explain that but denied doing anything outside his training. And the Chief says that was "not outside his training"?

“I guess we can’t call it “Glock Leg” anymore.”
Lots of guns are now unsafe since popular consensus was that a manual safety was no longer needed. The “Just keep your damned finger off the f***** trigger!” crowd started making guns.

Makes me wonder about the rest of those Sig misfires…

Is the officer Black? If so, here’s how MSNBC will report the story: “Black man gunned down by police officer while exiting car.”
To: T.B. Yoits
It adds to the debate as to whether a handgun should have a safety. I like a safety, but then, I'm partial to Ol' Slabsides.

I know it often comes down to training.
But, I wonder how common it was for police officers and others to shoot themselves in the thigh or ass when carrying revolvers was the norm?
I also wonder about the standard of marksmanship among professionals during the revolver era as well.

Officer Schroeder’s finger was inside the trigger guard. The gun didn't "go off". The ossifer put his finger on the trigger and pulled it.

The guy needs a better gun... My suggestion at this point would be the Beretta PX4, either full size or compact and preferably in SW 40 caliber rather than 9mm.

And it turns out to be an Sig.
I got a couple of these newfangled things called 1911s - they have a thumb safety that prevents this, or at least greatly reduces the chances of “Glock leg”, or “Sig Leg”.
