As my brother told me:
"There are 3 rules of Glock Safety:"

1. Keep your freakin' finger off the trigger
2. Keep your finger off the freakin' trigger
3. Keep your freakin' finger off the freakin' trigger

The point is, the Glock will not fire if the the trigger is not pulled (there is a safety within the trigger that is activated when pressure is applied to the trigger). In addition, the officers clearly violated several fundamental gun safety rules:

1. Treat every gun as if it was loaded
2. Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy, and
3. Keep your freakin' finger off the freakin' trigger

I've owned a mod 22 Glock .40 Cal and really like the way it shoots now. When I first got it, the Glock had an awful eight pound trigger pull and jammed tight on the first box of brand new ammo. But a tune up from a St. Paul gunsmith took care of that and I've put a couple thousand rounds through it since then.
As in any auto-feed pistol, or any kind of gun, for that matter, you've got to treat it like its loaded every time. EVERY TIME.

Keep your freakin' finger off the trigger

A-men brother!! Anyone who uses a Glock has to adapt to this.

being a law enforcement officer and someone who is responsible for My facilities weapons maintenance, it never fails to amaze me how so many officers can "forget" the basics of weapons handling. To reiterate what My trainers said when I transitioned into glocks "The only time your finger is in the trigger guard is when you are going to shoot something. Otherwise KEEP YOUR F&*!ING FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER!!". The VAST majority of accidents that I have heard of with the Glock boil down to one thing: operator error.The only way to be safe with ANY weapon is rigorous practice with the duty weapon, and Constant, unwavering reinforcement of weapons handling basics. Firearms are tools, and are only as safe or unsafe as the person wielding it, bottom line. If the Glock is unsafe, it is because the owner has a brainfart, no more, no less.

Silly of those Austrians to think that if you pull the trigger it should fire......clearly bad design.

We could make them need to request fire through a special court with judges offering to complete the action.

Lets go back to maces and whirling stars for the Law Enforcement types who do no good defending themselves from the under privileged.

Great weapon but still dangerous in the hands of an idiot.
