I carry a .40 Glock and the only way it goes off is a finger on a trigger.

Technically, not true.

I have read at least one account of a person reholstering his Glock and a shirt getting caught in the trigger, making the gun discharge. Could never happen with my Kimber as it has a thumb safety AND a grip safety.

For anyone who thinks Glocks are safe, I simply would ask, woyuld you walk around grocery store/mall with a 1911 in Condition Zero?

There is no Condition 1 on a Glock.

As they say gun safety is my first thought and only thought and I keep my finger off the trigger. I could see a shirt getting tangled in the trigger of a Glock though.

I tend not to keep one in the pipe, purely based on where I am. Probably not the best method, but one I'm comfortable with.

If you believe that story,
there are folks who have a bridge to sell you.

What is more likely is; he inserted his gun
into his holster with his finger on the trigger
