Never, ever carry a glock-type firearm in your pants waist band.
Or you too could get Glock C0ck.

1. All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
3. Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.

If you think the four rules are bunk
You’re apt to put an AD right through your junk.

That’s why I bought a 40 cal. H&K. It has a safety which a glock and many other handguns don’t.

He may need to change his name to Stumpy.

I thought most parts of Birmingham were public.

Personally I don’t want the safety mechanism built into the trigger. I can either grip a grip safety (1911) or as I am pulling out of the holster flip a thumb safety.

NEVER point a gun at something you are not willing to destroy.

It alarmed fewer people than if he had done it in public parts of Birmingham (duck’n & runn’n)

I do NOT trust Glocks. Are there any stats on AD’s with Glocks vs. other semiautos?

Okay...it’s not Birmingham, AL.

Those AL folks have more nuts, and gun expertise, than that!

The pistol went off half-cocked…and now so does he.
