This is a bunch of crap. I've owned Glocks and many other guns for years, and never had an accidental discharge. If this probation officer keeps shooting his ceiling, he needs to surrender his weapon until he gets proper training and qualifies to carry it. Guns dont "just discharge"; careless people are always at fault. Fools who shoot their own ceiling just give credibility to anti-gun nuts who want to disarm everyone.
There was a thread a while back where some of those chatting mentioned that there is no such thing as an accidental discharge. They claimed that they are all "negligent discharges". From what little experience I have with handguns and what I've heard about most "accidental discharges", they're right about negligence. A weapon won't fire without some type of action outside itself.
When I took my first safety course relating to semi-autos, it was pounded into our heads, magazine out first, clear the round from the chamber next.
A guy here in Idaho found out the hard way at a party a few years ago. Got drunk (a "here-hold-muh-beer" thing) was playing with his new "toy". Put the clip in and pulled the trigger - nothing. Pulled the clip out and pulled the trigger - nothing. Put the clip in, chambered a round, safety on, pulled at the trigger - nothing. Pulled the clip out, safety on, pulled at the trigger, nothing. Put the clip in, took the safety off, pulled the trigger (remember the still-chambered round???)- bang. All this time, he pointed the gun at his head at each trigger pull. The round killed him, killed the moron still in the room sitting next to him and went throught the mouth of the second moron still in the room with this drunk idiot.
I agree...I have a glock...I have never had a problem with it. These morons had their finger on the trigger. It's impossible for a glock to fire unless the trigger is completely pressed. There is no story here...just another liberal lawyer trying to get money from Glock.
