Yeah, 'cause if he didn't have 'one in the pipe', he wouldn't have needed to stop in the rest room!

Oh...wait...you mean in the gun...

I dont know why you would even unholster... just take the entire rig off leaving it safely holstered.

Based on the Deputy's age, I'll bet that his firearms training was lacking at best. Do you think that he has ever received training on what to do with his weapon while sitting on the throne. As silly as it sounds, it you don't think the problem through in training, you are far less likely to find an acceptable answer to the problem in the real world. Yes, leaving all of the gear in the duty rig is the answer if that is what you wear. What about the trouser belt mounted holster? What about UC or others that have to carry in non-permissive environs? As silly as it may sound, we address the question in training for all modes of carry. No we don't move training to the thunderboxes, but we do address it in the lecture portion of the class.

Not to slam them, but I'll bet any money it was a GLOCK. Light trigger pull and no manual safety. Not to say it would be OK to do this with a 1911 or other weapon with a manual safety, it just would have been less likely to result in a ND.

Thats funny right there, I dont care who ya are


Dbl and/or safe action is not a substitute for a manual and grip safety.

I've read reports about an officer doing that with his Berreta and another doing it with a 1911. The stupid will always find a way.

That actually isnt as uncommon as one would think.

I have been hearing of local snafus like this for years.

I'd be willing to bet that just about every armed agency has had at least one much like this.
