You're Glock
Has several safeties, including one on the trigger. Still, like any gun it needs a holster to be carried safely.

It really depends on what neighborhood you live in. I am unfamiliar with this gentleman's hometown, but in plenty of places you have to be prepared. Liberal cities like Juarez and Chicago have huge murder rates, because of their gun control. You'd be a dam fool to leave your domicile without packing, to do so is tantamount to suicide.
When I was on another board, one of the members was a homosexual living in Chicago. He disappeared and is presumed deceased. Just going out on the street is very dangerous. In 2006, at the peak of the war in Iraq, more brave Americans were being slaughtered on the streets of Chicago than in Iraq in a war. Soldiers didn't want to leave the war zone, they realized going home to Chicago was more hazardous.
Haven't you looked them up?
He is ignoring that if it is not accidental it must be intentional.
If it's not intentional, it's accidental. You're letting your police/military nomenclature **** with reality.
accidental adj 1 happening or done by accident; not planned.

Glocks have no manual safety to disengage before firing

Many of your duty weapons don't have a safety. They are carried in the holster in condition 0. The best safety is keeping your finger off the trigger.

True, but they have internal safeties and a trigger safety that disengages automatically when the trigger is pulled.
----------------------------------- of course , its the same when they drive cars as they take their spare tire with them Tommy . Too bad that 'Mannington Bowes' of somewhere in 'londonistan' didn't have a gun on him the night he was murdered eh Tommy ??

When one talks of a safety on a handgun I take it to mean a manual safety that has to be disengaged before firing.

Not exactly true. There have been a few design issues. The Remington 700 has a rather sordid history as one well known example. The original design was flawed. The trigger bar was two pieces of metal layered, and in some cases could separate, causing the rifle to discharge the instant the weapon was taken off of safe. The original design would not allow the bolt to be moved if the safety was on, so you had to take the safety off to unload the rifle.
This problem was again to resurface at Remington with the X-Mark trigger on the same series of rifles. REMINGTON RECALLS MODEL 700 AND MODEL SEVEN RIFLES
Taurus had an interesting issue with the Millennium series of pistols. If the trigger was back just a fraction of an inch, and I’m talking less than 1/8th of an inch, and you engaged the manual safety, the safety was not actually on. The weapon could and would fire. Even placing it into a holster could cause enough friction to move the trigger to fire the weapon, despite the safety being on.

I don’t think either of these flaws could be considered negligent discharges. Taking the rifle off of safe in preparation to fire, and having it go off is not negligence on the part of the shooter. When you put the safety on, you expect it to be on, and prevent the weapon from firing. We can argue until the cows come home that the smart thing to do is not have the weapon pointed at anything important before taking the safety off, but some of those events were Police Sharpshooters or Snipers who were observing/participating in real and training situations where sniping at the baddie was part of the deal, and inevitably the situation was fluid, with a lot of people moving around.
Again, these are just two of the design and manufacturing flaws that have cropped up. There have been others, things that just weren’t known. Some companies acted swiftly to address the issue. Some delayed and caused more harm. But blaming the shooter for a failure of a weapon is IMO erroneous. Hell one guy went to prison because the sear on his weapon became worn, and became a runaway rifle.

Are the authorities sure that it was an accidental shooting when too many males no longer want what makes them a male anymore?
God bless you always!!!

What does "unlicensed" have to do with it?
The huge, huge majority of gun owners are unlicensed.
