[QUOTE="Laubage, post: 1981592, member: 14597"] So you are saying that it won't happen to you because you're perfect at handling a firearm? This US Marshall probably had no idea about gun safety either right? [URL="http://www.firearmsid.com/a_UnintendedGlockDischarge.htm"]http://www.firearmsid.com/a_UnintendedGlockDischarge.htm[/URL] Here's another person who probably thought it would never happen. He probably considers himself good with gun safety also. Is the gun going to sprout a trigger finger and shoot you? I highly doubt it. Is history riddled with negligent discharges by people who think they know gun safety? Yes. Could a thumb safety have prevented these? Maybe maybe not, but I bet if you asked all of them, they would've rather had one on their respective days. Some people are ok with being 99% sure they won't shoot themselves or loved ones , some would rather be 99.9% sure (thumb safety on Glock // no round in the chamber). Thinking that your own gun can't kill you is a bad road to walk down. One more for the road: [URL="http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2012/07/police_woman_killed_when_off-d.html#incart_river_default"]http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2012/07/police_woman_killed_when_off-d.html#incart_river_default[/URL] [/QUOTE]
