Maybe not wearing it during break dancing needs to be taught next.

I would also add not wearing it to a party and getting plastered.

Like an empty fire extinguisher. Suicide potential.

1911s are designed to be carried cocked (and locked).

Glocks do not have external safeties.

Yup. 90% of the country does not understand this. That is why I carry DA/SA Sig Sauer P239 with one in the pipe.

For over a hundred years people have been carrying 1911s into combat.

> The problem here was holster retention, not a manual safety.

I don't think most holsters can properly retain a firearm WHEN UPSIDE DOWN OR VERTICAL, which is why it fell out when the FBI Special ED Agent attempted a "back handspring" as stated in the article ...

I thought every handgun is a Glock. No?

I love my Glocks, but for concealed carry, I only trust a real DAO (Sig P290RS, S&W Bodyguard 380) with one in the pipe. I like a long, heavy trigger pull for a gun that is hidden in my pants.

Carrying a loaded weapon on his person while doing a back flip?

I guess they didn’t cover that one at Quantico...

Some people are just plain stupid.

When the Police Departments started receiving Glocks, the idiots were constantly having accidental discharges many of which shot themselves.

And how about the “incompetence” that comes with leaving a loaded weapon in your car in San Francisco, so it’s “available” for a seven time recidivist illegal alien Mexican to go “innocent white girl hunting” on a pier there. Oh, I forgot that was a BLM “agent,” not a “well-trained” worthless turd from the FBI! I get so GD tired of hearing about how “citizens” shouldn’t have access to firearms because, well you know, we aren’t well-trained like our LEO’s are! Most of them are so poorly trained, that this is the situation where they most often “shoot someone!” “I, I, I, can’t unnerstan it, I jus picked it up, and it went off? You know, you can never tell wen thass gonna happen, because they’s basically unsafe, an they jus’ go around going off shooting innocent people indiscriminately! Specially when you be in a bar dancing.” And you know, between the DA and the Judge, you know this guy’s going to skate, and a promotion to the 7th floor will be coming as well!

My neighbor bought a clock for his wife to carry in her purse. She rarely shoots. I tried to talk him into a a full Dao but his police friend’s praise of the clock won the day.

According to this website, uslawshield.com, there is no legal standard when it comes to carrying a firearm as to how much alcohol you have consumed in order to be in violation of that law.

The Restaurant Has a Bar. Can I Carry? Colorado

In Colorado, you can go into a bar with a firearm concealed so long as there’s not signage that specifically prohibits it, or you’re told by somebody that works there that no guns are allowed. Once you’re inside the bar, if you consume any alcohol, you run the risk of committing a crime by possessing a firearm while you’re intoxicated. Now, you might think, well if I have one beer, or one shot, or whatever it might be, I’m not intoxicated because I’m not a .08, or I’m not a .05. You’d be mistaken because you’re right now thinking about the legal standard for driving, not the legal standard for possessing a firearm. There is no actual per se or statutory legal standard, so it’s a totally subjective standard, i.e. it is up to the police officer on whether or not you are intoxicated. So, if you’re using bad judgment and you’ve got some alcohol on your breath, I can promise you the police officer is going to say you’re intoxicated, and you’re going to be facing a criminal charge for doing something you really shouldn’t be doing in the first place.

Of course that means a cop would have to arrest and charge the FIBie.

I don't enjoy this even a little bit, but I'm betting that the song that he was dancing to was Yakety Sax.

Don’t care what you think about it. Our instructor says by the time you’ve racked a round the bad guy has already popped you several times. We use H&K’s which have a long trigger pull and a long release. Mine is always cocked ready to go. Apparently you have no idea the type training an FFDO goes through.

FBI will investigate and say accidental shooting was justified because the victim wore a MAGA hat at home and had child porn on his home computer...
