      Really? I would have assumed a safety would be required by law on all firearms post-, say, 1960 but I guess I’m not really that surprised.

        As I understand it, a Glock’s safety is on the trigger so it’s always on unless you have your finger on the trigger.

        As soon as I read “glock”, I could have told you what happened.

        Lots of these redneck yahoos get their weapons modified for a lighter trigger pull. And without a manual safety, that means misfiring a glock becomes incredibly easy. Absolutely possible he was trying to do a finger spin with his new lethal toy and killed his daughter.

          First post: “this doesn’t have a source to the real story.” (Does not provide a source)

          This post: completely fabricated story to try to excuse what “may” have happened.

          I dont know why you are bothering to find a way to make his obvious lie sound plausible. He just murdered her. Pointed the gun and pulled the trigger.

        All a safety really does is prevent you from pulling the trigger. Someone who needs that shouldn’t be handling guns in the first place.
