Another Glock, Mexican Carry, Sweatpants incident. It comes from a story out of the Seattle Times, so of course you can catch the anti-gun undertones, but all in all it is another good lesson not to do this. It happened right down the street from my house.

Well thats one way to stop numpties from breeding give them all a gun and let them shoot their balls off ;D

FTA: ""He says, 'It was in my waistband, and I felt it starting to slip, reached for it, and I must have positioned my finger so the trigger went off," Fischer remembered Thursday.
A Lynnwood police report about the incident says the gun was a Glock 30, a compact pistol described by the manufacturer as "the legendary .45 caliber."

Usually a good dose of penicillin will stop an errant discharge in that area but in this case.....

As this idiot demonstrated, Glocks are for the more intelligent among us.
True, idiots will be more safe with another model of firearm when they run around with what little brain they have disengaged ;D ;D ;D

Why would you think the gun would stay in place in sweats?

Paging Plaxico Burress! :D
-
So if I get a Glock I would need to start wearing sweatpants? Can't I just use a holster and pant-pants?
-
He was in sweats heading down to Lowe's, Maybe that's the only carry gun he has.
-
My local Lowes is a battle ground. I need a handgun, an interpretor and daylight before I venture into the area.
But that carry option is just stupid.
-
Looks like he had the money to buy the Glock but not enough to buy a holster and a belt to hold it up. I bet that hurt though! ;D
The Glock 30SF is my main carry gun. I would never wear sweatpants with one. If I am going to wear something light, I will carry my Ruger LCP.
-
...that carry option is just stupid.
I agree 100%, and, as usual, stupidity does not go unrewarded. :o
Swoop

But at least he paid for his own stupidity, usually it is the innocent bystander.
-
Sad thing is, if he'd just let it hit the ground, nothing would have happened. He will now go trough life as the Plaxico kid.(There's a cowboy action handle for you). ;D
FQ13 who wonders why you would carry a gun in what was empirically proven to bean unsafe manner. If he'd left the gun at home and been attacked, what worse would they have done to him? ;D

They might have shot him in the head.
The other head. ;D

I forwared this article to a young fella that works with me. He resolved to never, ever carry his sidearm this way again.
I was a little suprised he would in the first place.

Goes to show that "you can't fix STUPID" ::)
Darwin must be laughing his ass off. ;D

On the contrary Bryand, I think we did just "fix" stupid. ;D
FQ13 who is a very person.
-
I don't know FQ13, to my way of thinkin, him being dead would have fixed stupid. Right now, he just can't pass on the genome. :o
Which is almost as good.
-
He's as "fixed" as my last pet ;D
PS someone mentioned CAS alias's ? How about "The You Knock Kid" ;D

As a competition shooting Range officer, I have seen things that would make you duck at 1st glance, usually newbies just getting into the sport with no qualifications as I once was. Seen shooters with actually good holsters, and a elastic belt, the pistol looks like it's bungee jumping, hangs low from the weight and then comes way up on the draw, maybe enough, it won't even come out, and when they holster and pick up brass, as they bend over, it hangs lower and points to the rear. Having had to grap pistols that were beginning to point in a dangerous direction more than once, grab for the slide, and if possible use both hands in a clapping motion to avoid any chance of touching the bang switch. Of course the other recommendation, is turn to your side, with one leg up to protect the jewels, and both hands around your head and eyes, but with the biceps down to protect from a side hit, and hope the safeties work as it hits the deck. This is actually a common reaction without any training, Monkey reflex, Holy S**t, something bad is about to happen kind of move.

I'll answer for Eric.
"Glocks are the best! See? They even work as a nut cracker/roaster."

Glock: 1
Nutz: 0
EPIC FAIL!!
Glock 30 .45ACP: $500
Super duper ammo: $50
Ditching real pants, belt & holster for sweat pants from Wal-mart: $10
Blowing your balls off so you can't contaminate the rest of the planet: Priceless

Bet you could get a deal on that Glock. ;)
FQ13 plus you'd win the "ugliest gun contest" ;D

This Rabbit has carried a Glock 27 for around 15 years. I've carried inside the waistband, outside the waistband, at 1, 3, & 9 o'clock, in an SOB, in Thunder Wear, in a shoulder rig and in a FOBUS. I've carried in front pockets, back pockets, jacket pockets and in a fanny pack.
And the ONLY times I have ever felt my personal balls to be at great risk is when Bunny is pi$$ed at me for some dang fool thing I did and shouldn't have, or didn't do and should have. :P
As far as being a pretty gun, well, it's not a great beauty. For beauty I have my Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag in polished S/S. 8) But it's heavy enough I walk with a limp when I strap that to my belt. Don't get me wrong--I love my .44. :-* But ugly and ten rounds plus 1 in the chamber sounds darned pretty to me if I'm ever in a gunfight. ;D
Submitted by a still fully functional Crusader who has all of his parts and will as long as he stays on Bunny's good side. :D ;)

Some men just 'blow off' there manhood. Incredible.
