I didn't say that, but Glock definetly has a reputation for this sort of thing happening.

It's the same thing that happens recently regarding pitbull attacks. It also happened back in the 90's with Rotties. Both of these breeds were maligned in the media and by others as being more likely to bite someone than any other breed at the time and it was completely false. The, relatively, few instances when it did happen got national media attention and people believed it was true because it was on TV and the news said so. This is also true of child molestation and abductions and other things. The 24 hour news cycle and media hype makes some people think it is happening more often now than in the past. It might be, but not a significant amount if it is when accounting for the difference in the population from now when also compared to the past.

Believe what you want. There are a lot of people that do some really dumb things with firearms. Some intentionally and some without even thinking about what they're about to do. However, answer me this. If the Glock is such a flawed and dangerous design, how has it been allowed to stay on the market for so long now and not have a class action law suit against it?

First I've heard that it was a Glock, but if it was, not the Glocks fault. People who don't know how to handle firearms need a gun with a manual safety.

I don't know if it was or wasn't hence the smiley. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it turns out to be one.

like I said, if you don't know jack about firearms you need a manual safety.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion but it doesn't make it fact. IMHO Glocks are for people who can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

So, the vast majority of LEO in the country can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time? People who blame a Glock every time someone shoots themselves are not only perpetuating a myth about glocks and striker fired weapons, they are also revealing their ignorance of firearms.

It's not a myth that "glock leg' happens.

And the same thing has never happened with any other firearm.

And thus the absurdity of either argument. It is operator error pure and simple.
