The firearm was a .38 caliber Smith and Wesson Airweight revolver The cop was the operator. The gun discharged when the officer tried to put the safety on, according to MyFoxPhilly.com. Wait. What?
S&W revolvers don't HAVE safeties. I have NEVER seen a revolver with a safety. The safety is keeping your damned, donut-stained finger away from the damned trigger!

internal safety, either a hammer block or
a transfer bar, that positively
prevents firing without the trigger being pulled.
