An empty gun is an expensive paper weight.
Thatās over 20k guns at a minimum.
Understandable. If youāre carrying, itās because you think you might need it one day. In a situation where you might need it, moments can determine life or death.
Yeah, but how often does a Glock need to be serviced? When the former Agent mentioned it to me he didnāt mention how often field weapons were required to be sent in.
I donāt know why they would be at all unless they break them.
Which brings up another question. Are field agents required to spend a certain amount of time at a firing range during the year? If so, perhaps the service is based on how many rounds have been fired. That sort of makes sense to me.
The safety on a Glock is a part of the trigger. It went off because dipstick pulled the trigger when he picked it up.
More proof of the obvious - with a gun present, an accident can be dangerous or deadly.
Are you criticizing the noble and courageous FBI?
About 3.6 million teachers in the USā¦ Letās say we arm 10%, thatās about 360,000ā¦ There are about 13,750 special agents with the FBIā¦ If you were an insurer and your livelihood depended on calculating the risk of an accidental discharge wounding/killing a bystander from one of these 360,000 armed teachers, would you put the risk at even odds of an FBI Special Agent or higher?
Iām criticizing bring guns to a bar.
Heās a FBI Agent.
Off duty, wasnāt he?
exactly.
So why yāall hating on the FeeBees? Arenāt they part of that thin blue line of demigods that must be supported no matter what?
Stupid rookie move. I saw the video, gun didnāt discharge until he pulled the trigger picking it up. The gun discharged when it hit the floor is a crap story.
If youāre dumb enough to carry with an empty chamber you deserve what comes your way when you do find yourself in a fight.
Glocks do not have a manual safety, the safety is the trigger.
They also have a backstrap safety that is supposed to prevent ADās.
Odds are that gun had some modifications done to it which allowed the AD.
Careful, I know where you picked that one up.
Most dangerous and deadly accidents donāt involve firearms at all.
Much lower than that of FBI agents being stupid and break dancing in bars with an improperly holstered firearm.
Good point.
