Officer shoots nine people with one shot!

Semi-autos often jam when fired from a pocket. Either the slide is prevented from moving, or the extracted case cannot clear the ejection port.

Revolvers with exposed hammers often get cloth in the hammer area when an attempt is made to fire from a pocket, preventing the gun from firing.

You can view tests of this on youtube.

You can also view people holding their slide in place with a thumb and firing the gun, to demonstrate that it doesn't take much to stop the gun from cycling.

The guy might have had a jacket or coat on as well. If he's seated with a jacket on, then that would also have helped to muffle the sound.

Notice how they clarify "law enforcement officers" and "correctional officers"?

One of these things is not like the other.

AGAIN both have to meet the same standards and fall under the same statue/department in Florida.

They take the same exam in Florida to get certified.

"All individuals seeking Florida certification as a law enforcement, correctional, or correctional probation officer must first pass the State Officer Certification Examination (SOCE)."

Corrections Officer is not a cop in common parlance. In law enforcement realm the order of precedence is:

Mall security => Corrections officer => Police officer

Ummm I think you're forgetting some others:

Judge Judy => Wambulance chaser => Mall security => Corrections officer => Police officer

This. Add stress to a situation and you may not remember to take the safety off.

If you don't use your weapon enough to build muscle memory on operating it then you shouldn't be carrying it.

Figures he was a Glock user though, bunch of retards where a safety is too much work and too hard to operate. :whiste:

Most people have more than one gun. There is no way to build muscle memory if all of your guns have external safeties. The only way to do that is if none of them do.

:hipthrust: OH YEAH!

I don't need muscle memory for my revolver or my glock other than to squeeze not pull.

Taking my conceal test, I used my Star m30. Low stress situation. We'd fire 2 rounds, safety on, re-holster, repeat with some variations....150 rounds for the day. Twice I forgot to take the safety off. Not interested in a high stress situation and relying on my muscle memory.

Hell, not interested in needing it or being in a high stress situation to begin with.

So no muscle memory built for pulling your revolver/Glock from its holster, aiming and putting shots on target? 😵

Who needs to draw it? Just vent your pants.


A good point. I carry a Taurus ultra-lite in a nemisis holster. To get a good grip/hand position that I don't have to readjust, I need to use a good amount of downward force. Don't think the casual shooter would consider that until it bites him.
 
And a lot of safeties are just designed poorly so that the firearm is harder to put into fire than it is to re-safety.

If something goes bump in the night, I'm significantly more confident in grabbing my G19 or M&P than I am my 1911 because of the safety. Even if the 1911s is meant to be ridden by the firing hand's thumb in a proper grip just because I need to remember to manipulate it.
 
FLORIDA!! Where it makes good sense To Carry A weapon that has no positive safety in your pocket with a chambered round. And have any of you watched the TV show about the fire dangers of carrying nine-volt batteries in your pocket? Battery sparks on contact with a metal object, "victims" feel heat as their pants burst into flames.

Who... who carries 9volt batteries in their pocket? At least enough to have things like that happen. 😵
 
No instructions NOT to carry a weapon in a pocket with your keys and change? WHAT! lol "In a s blizzard of keys and cash our hero brought his weapon up into firing position only find the mechanism jammed by a dime!"

Where do you carry them when replacing them in your CO2 & smoke detectors?

You only need one. something to short it and you have fire. One nine volt, steel wool and you have an emergency fire starter. House fires traced to a nine volt thrown away in a garbage bag. Do I have to mention their use in sexual stimulation?
