Rule #2 - Don't point the gun at anything you don't want to kill or destroy.
Rule #3 - Booger hook off the bang switch until on target and ready to shoot.

Says the gun was tucked in the fathers pants, fell out, dropped and fired.

That is some dumb shit right there and the boy paid for it.

Gee willakers, I thought only SIG's did that.

Not possible. Probably grabbed for a falling gun.

Never do that.

More like tucked in pants, fell out, was fumbled and grabbed by the trigger and fired.

 

[GOPerfect]

Not adding to the story, just stating the known that was given.

 

[Catskillkid]

Not saying it can't happen, but I was under the impression that Glocks were particularly drop safe. Most modern handguns are (early run Sig P320s not withstanding).

 

[Plater1]

Lawsuit in 3,2,1...........

 

[Doc8404]

WTF would you play wrestle when not holstered properly?

hell I put mine in the safe at that point.

 

[spat]

No gun is drop safe if there's foreign material inside the trigger guard.

PS. Your finger counts as foreign material if it's falling and you try to catch it.

 

[Phazer]

Not possibe. Probably grabbed for a falling gun.

That is my suspicion.

At every pistol training course I take, the instructor usually says something like, "If you draw, or do something that causes you to lose your grip on the pistol, and the pistol drops or goes flying...let...it...go. DO NOT try and catch it lest you risk pulling the trigger inadvertently."

 

[S&W Fan]

“ Just a minute son, let me tuck this in my pants and then we’ll wrastle .” WTF , there sure are some dumb sumbitches in this world and the worst part is that his son paid the price for his stupidity.

I dropped my holstered G21 yesterday on the dining room floor from a height of about 4 feet and all that happened was the sights put a mark in the hardwood, something is missing from this article.

So you're telling me it fell, and discharged upon impact (highly unlikely in itself) but discharged in such a way to shoot them both in the head with one round?

I smell bullshit.

Armor piercing rounds man. Deadly shit!

As I read the story, I thought BS. As I read that a go fund me was immediately started, I knew pure BS!

A magical ricochet like in cartoons? I call BS too.

Trigger was impacted by wind sheer in mid air. That's the only plausible explanation other than, the guy replaced the innards with SIG parts.

Heat seekers.


And some of these rifles that fire heat seeking bullets are equipped with shoulder things. Some of them are even capable of going up.

Sounds like this is how Epstein went.

[Phazer]

When I told my wife about the story, she immediately responded, "Sure...right...no way. Probably attempted murder-suicide."

 

[Phauxtoe]

no wrestling,
No dropped gun,
gun wasn't pointed in a safe direction,
dad was messing around with his gun and had a negligent discharge which killed his son.

 

[Blimey]

That is some dumb shit right there and the boy paid for it.

You mean a chambered round in a handgun and tucked into your pants is not best practice?

 

[GOPerfect]

Damn shame that the life of this child was snubbed out because of a careless father.

Even if, if, the gun malfunctioned, the father is still 100% to blame.

I smell bullshit

I was working on my brother's car the other day, the seal popped out of the windshield and I was trying to pop it back in, by standing on the inside of the car, leaning over the windshield. Naturally, I slipped and stepped backwards, and as I did, the open door behind me bit into my hip and popped my holster out of position, and my Glock popped out and onto the ground. If this dude's story is true, then I should be happy I didn't get shot. Granted, as stupid as this incident was, I didn't try to grab it or put any foreign materials inside the trigger guard. I just let it hit the ground, as this ding dong should have done.
