My lovely wife, upon hearing me tell her the headline and the type of gun involved, deadpanned " so he shot his coc* w/a glock?!" I love that woman.

The thing is, the only way he could of nearly blown his sack off w/a Glock is if he had the slide pulled back while showing it off. What a dumbass.

Sucker is lucky he didn't bleed to death in the 20 Items and Less lane

Dumbasses shoot themselves all the time. There was a video of a guy posted here a while back who was showing off his gun and telling people how to clean it. He was in the back of a car for some reason. You know the rest....he said, "Then you do it like this." BAM! Then, nothing but screaming.

I laughed and I laughed and I laughed.

I own numerous Glock handguns, and really don’t know what this means. The only way he could have shot himself with a Glock is he had a round chambered, and he pulled the trigger. Happens more commonly among law enforcement types that fail to keep their finger of the trigger while placing their weapon back into the holster, happens often enough that it is known as “Glock leg”

Gotcha. But wouldn't he had to have had the slide either pulled back or pulled and slid back forward in order to activate the firing pin? Or am I off?

Way off

All you have to do is chamber a round

Racking the slide extracts a round if chambered, chambers a new round from the magazine if present, and readies the striker fire action if the trigger is pulled. A slide locked in the open position which is then released forward chambers a new round from the magazine while also leaving the striker ready to strike if the trigger is pulled.

He likely put a magazine in the gun, racked the slide, and then holstered the gun. At that point the gun will fire if the trigger is pulled.

ETA: Don't ever pull out a gun to show someone in public. Do it in a private setting clearing the gun leaving it open with slide locked so the second person can confirm it's clear. I shouldn't have to say this, but a gun is not a toy.

I would rather carry a single-action revolver with the hammer down on a round than a Glock with a round in the chamber. Maybe I'm a dumbass (and I wouldn't really do either), but it seems like most negligent discharges involve pulling the trigger.

We had a Navy Seal do the same thing. Shot himself as he was exiting a vehicle on a mission.

If you have a malfunction with a revolver then the best you can do is throw it at the guy. With a Glock or other striker fired handgun you can recover a few different ways. Many NDs occur when someone holsters their gun with their shirt in the way without them realizing it and they force it. The trigger was pulled but not by the person's finger. A lot of NDs occur due to poor finger discipline.

That's true, but only because there's a whole category of semiauto malfuctions in which the gun is OK but there was some sort of jam. These non-breaking malfunctions just don't exist for a revolver.

Don't get me wrong, I love autoloaders. My point was just that people put too much confidence in the Glock's "safeties" and heavy trigger. There will be times when a trigger gets snagged or otherwise pulled inadvertently, and a conventional safety (if well done) is still a good thing.

I disagree. How did the trigger get snagged? How did it get inadvertently get pulled? I'm not saying those things don't happen, but if it's just the operator involved then they did not maintain control or discipline over the weapon and its environment. Struggling in a fight? Yeah, understandable that it goes off. Shoving it in a holster and it goes off? It was done carelessly. Having your finger on the trigger and bumping something causing it to go off -- completely the operator's fault.

Yep and glocks dont have a designated safety. Need to be careful, guns arent a toy.
