Holsters for attached tactical lights have bigger openings because the lights are wider than the rest of the gun. I can see that little kid fingers could reach in and find a trigger.chasfm11 wrote:Beiruty wrote:A duty holster should cover the trigger, no?
It didn't make sense to me either. What a flashlight and a trigger guard have to do with one another isn't clear.Police say because the gun was in a holster the accommodate the attached flashlight, the trigger was more accessible.
Having been in classrooms with kids around that age, it isn't uncommon for them to want to get close to a "special" person that is brought in. If the officer's focus was other than what was directly around his gun, it would have been easy for one of the kids to slip up unnoticed and just reach in without warning.
The article talks about changing protocols. How about just wearing a holster with a trigger guard in such situations? I realize that mine is an IWB but there is no way for a child to have done the same to me.
