Glocks don't have an external safety to put "on". That is also one of many good reasons why you don't screw around with it while it is in your pocket either.

Probably readjusting his balls and pulled the trigger.

I've never fired a Glock, but my understanding is that the safety is integrated into the trigger mechanism. Is that correct?

Clearly he was a member of a well regulated Militia....I mean....a well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, after all. Most well regulated Militias train over dinner in family restaurants....of course he'd be packing while there.

Whatevah

Just more wanna be Rambo douche baggery. I guess we should all thankful that his "rights" only hurt little kids and old people out to eat instead of killing them.

Yes

I like glocks and have had several, I carry a 1911

Not really sure where KS is going w his post, but generally when ' carrying' you carry everywhere where legal, restaurants malls, wherever your travels take you.

Crime doesn't stop at the doors of ' family' restaurants

YES. My buddy has a personal Glock 19 and a work issued Glock 17. Both have trigger safetys. So this retard had his finger on the trigger with enough foce to depress the safety, and then something happened from there.

A Glock has 3 internal, automatic safeties and no manual safety switch like a conventional gun.

Drop Safety, Firing Pin Safety, Trigger Safety.

All three are disabled automatically by pressing the trigger. It is a very safe design. The only way a Glock is going to shoot is if you pull the trigger.

If he really was carrying a Glock, my guess is that it was in a shitty holster, or no holster at all. He fidgeted with it, and something pulled the trigger. They don't "just go off".

we have had more than our share of ghetto thugs castrate themselves just that way, keeping a gun in their waistband. Granted these idiots know little or nothing about gun safety, use or maintenance.

The upside is they wont be making babies mammas so thats a good thing.

As I posted, a report says that it was in his pocket.
