I know exactly how a Glock operates. I sell and own them. Semantics?
"He pulled the trigger." Tell me what happens when one "pulls the trigger" on a weapon with what people define a "SAFETY" to be? That safety is not Glock and you know it.
Obviously Mr. Burress, alcohol aside, was never trained on the usage of his firearm.
They are treated as loaded and ready to fire under ANY circumstance. Great Glock commercial........however, is your name Gaston?   See 3 other replies

I'm always sad when someone beats me to the punch. I about had a stroke when he said it didn't have a safety...AK-47's have safeties, BB guns have safeties, I'm pretty sure super soakers, nerf guns and marshmellow shooters have safeties.However, other than that, I indeed agree on all points. He's rich kid idiot with an (unliscenced, I think?) firearm to accentuate his "gangsta rapper fantasy costume", an all too common occurance. So I'm officially charging him with:1. Negligence - For potentially hurting or killing someone else.
2. Idiocy - For throwing away his career.
3. Being a tool - You're a rich NFL star. You can be yourself. Dress up in Armani clothes, throw money around - it's what you are. Don't pretend to be some hardcore gangster (like Dr. Dre who indeed grew up in Compton - inside his house, not getting involved in gangs, got himself educated and pretended to be from the streets).
4. Hubris - For thinking that all that money meant you could do whatever you want.   See 3 other replies

Plaxico was indeed carrying a Glock. However, your statement that a Glock does not have a safety is incorrect. A Glock has three safeties. A trigger safety, a firing pin safety, and a drop safety. The reason the weapon fired is that Plaxico tried to catch the gun when it fell down his pants. When he caught it, he pulled the trigger which in turn disengaged the firing pin safety, which in turn disengaged the drop safety, causing the gun to fire! If he had not attempted to catch the gun and just let it hit the floor, the drop safety would have done what it was designed to do, and that is not let the gun fire when dropped.   See 3 other replies
