"I know we just had a fight and you went to another room to be alone, but check out my cool new gun that is loaded with the safety off and pointed in your direction!"
JFC.
Glocks don't have manual safeties.
Oh well then, in that case nothing problematic happened at all!
Really? I would have assumed a safety would be required by law on all firearms post-, say, 1960 but I guess I'm not really that surprised.
As I understand it, a Glock's safety is on the trigger so it's always on unless you have your finger on the trigger.
As soon as I read "glock", I could have told you what happened.
Lots of these redneck yahoos get their weapons modified for a lighter trigger pull. And without a manual safety, that means misfiring a glock becomes incredibly easy. Absolutely possible he was trying to do a finger spin with his new lethal toy and killed his daughter.
First post: "this doesn't have a source to the real story." (Does not provide a source)
This post: completely fabricated story to try to excuse what "may" have happened.
I dont know why you are bothering to find a way to make his obvious lie sound plausible. He just murdered her. Pointed the gun and pulled the trigger.
All a safety really does is prevent you from pulling the trigger. Someone who needs that shouldn't be handling guns in the first place.
