OK guys... Let's keep this story on topic. The issue is not proper firearm handling. The most critical piece of information has been omitted here. The most critical pice of information is that his weapon was obviously a GLOCK.
HELLO Katie Horner!
I realise it's not the glocks fault, but why did it ever seem like a good idea to have to pull the trigger to unload the gun? It's like having to turn a car on to get the oil filter off: eventually its not going to end right.
Edit: i kinda typo'd that but i'm gunna leave it because it made me laugh.
You have to press the trigger to disassemble the gun
You don't have to pull the trigger to unload the gun. You have to press the trigger to disassemble the gun and if you follow the most basic of safety rules every time you do it, it will never be a problem.
That's the typo. If you re-read it, what i actually wrote is kinda funny...
Mental note to self: when trying to unload firearm, do not do so by pulling trigger to empty magazine.
I always find that pulling the trigger several times unloads my guns quite well .
That is one of the only things I don't like about glocks. You hate to hear it, but when (tens or hundreds of) thousands of people have to pull the trigger to disassemble their weapon, some of them are bound to shoot it. Glad no one was seriously injured.

And by having to pull the trigger to disassemble the gun, keeps life on the edge.
You are more of a thrill seeker than me !

Not really, I just triple check my Glocks to may sure they're empty before pulling the trigger to disassemble.
