I agree ... always have. My point is that a real trigger safety would have prevented this negligent discharge, so to some degree the type of firearm also played a role here - but it's no excuse. If it would have been a different gun with a real safety the out come would have been different. That's all I'm saying, and for some reason people can't grasp that and only fall back on "the guy screwed up" ... yeah, he did as I've agreed to many times.

I hear ya 02SE ... it's starting to go in circles now. I think I've made my point, so hopefully some will see it and not be "Glock blind" so to say.
If people want to carry guns without a real safety that's their choice, but if they ever do have a negligent discharge because of the trigger design I hope they can accept any ramifications.
