Or is this a euphemism for some other type of ND?

From the list...

Police officers have some special Jedi-like mastery over handguns that private citizens can never hope to obtain.

This guy must have missed that particular lesson.

Always good to be reminded of the "duh, simple" things. They are often the most important. Thanks!

Gee, I wonder if it's a gun that requires you to pull the trigger before dis assembly.

The issue isn't the gun. It's piss poor training and people not paying attention. I mean really - how hard is it to drop mag, rack rack rack, visually and physically inspect chamber, point the gun in a SAFE direction, pull trigger. This guy basically broke every firearm safety rule. He didn't treat the gun as if it was loaded - he pointed it at something he wasn't willing to destroy - and he didn't keep his finger off the trigger till his sights were on target.

 

Yeah, if it was a 12lb trigger he may have caught at least one of his mistakes, but it's still HIS mistake and not the guns.

 

:angry-soapbox:

What is standard issue in weehawken?

 

I am sure he had one in the pipe, took the mag out. And if XD or a Glock, requires you to pull the trigger to release the slide.

 

I have heard of numerous instances like this on other national boards.

 

but yeah... check the damn mag, chamber, slide.

 

Oh well, at least no one was seriously injured.

 

PS... this is why I like HK's, Smith 1911's. No need to pull the trigger to clean gun.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight - because you wouldn't shyte yourself when you stick that cleaning rod down the barrel and find a round there...

 

IMO, it's just another example of not following the simplest 4 rules, ever.

Seems like the stories like this are just being complacent. The gun just becomes something else on your belt.

no no, it is still there, but it is an extra stupid factor defense. You have to pull the trigger to take the slide off to clean.

 

When I clean the XD, I triple check the chamber, but still feel uneasy pulling the trigger to break it down.

Maybe because it's my first I don't have that same level of discomfort?
