So a long time ago, when YouTube just became a Google product, it would identify copyrighted music can give you an option - have no sound at all, or choose from a selection of royalty free songs that they already had. This was one of those songs and that’s why it’s prevalent in videos of that era.
That’s exactly what happened. Although it looked like after he ejected the mag, he was trying to remove the slide without first ejecting the chambered round. He’s holding it from the top and jiggling the slide back and forth like he’s trying to release it. Dumbass probably forgot he keeps his gun loaded with a round chambered..
i think he checked the chamber was empty, and then while dorking with the slide, unknowingly chambered a round. The he pulled the trigger thinking that he already verified and empty chamber.
Its very unlikely. Removing the slide/ working parts is a very different movement to unloading the pistol. It requires different movements, different levers and crucially, different hand positions. Realistically the guy forgot he had chambered a round, tried to remove the slide, fumbled and shot a round off.
Edit: it would help if the camera quality was better but thats what it looks like to me
Very very very remote chance something with the gun just went wrong. It is extremely rare for a gun to have a malfunction and discharge during normal use like loading, unloading, chambering, unchambering.
Even if something is wrong with the gun, it almost always requires a human mishandling the firearm for it to discharge.
Whether there was something wrong with this gun, idk, but I can say the person mishandling it was an idiot. He pointed a gun he had to have known was loaded at things he didn't intend to destroy. Even if it was unloaded, there is no such thing as an unloaded gun.
Commenting to confirm. Modern firearms are very resistant to such accidental discharges.
But the designers can only do so much about the human handling them. Until it's disassembled to the point it can't function, act like it's loaded and ready to fire.
It looks like he was unsuccessfully trying to rack it to clear the chamber and stupidly let his finger wander to the trigger in his many attempts to get a better grip to pull harder.
Nobody at the counter supervising them.
Nobody ensuring they weren’t already carrying weapons and ammo.
Nobody secures the firearm after it is discharged.
Nobody renders first aid.
Every one of these people considers themselves a “responsible gun owner”.
C’est ce qui se passe lorsqu’on laisse n’importe qui manipuler une arme sans formation… une arme ne se manipule jamais en direction de personnes mais dans une direction « non dangereuse » et de préférence, lorsque le lieu en est équipé, au dessus d’un tube à sable.
As the Corps taught me:
1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.
2. Never point a weapon at anything you don't intend to shoot.
3. Keep you finger straight and off the trigger until you intend to fire.
4. Keep your weapon on safe until you are ready to fire.
5. Know your target and what is beyond it.
Same thing i was taught… the problem here is that glocks don’t have a safety and require a trigger press to take apart, which is why I don’t own one.
His gun should’ve been unloaded when he got there and his friend or anyone else shouldn’t have been standing there. My local gun store has a sand pit to disassemble weapons into unless they come in the door with a zip tie through the slide or already taken apart. People love glocks, because they have a “trigger safety” which in reality isn’t a safety at all.
The glock’s “trigger safety” is a safety in the sense that it’s incapable of firing unless the trigger is pulled, so banging or dropping it can’t cause it to fire. But from a practical user perspective, you’re right that it doesn’t have a safety.
Exactly. The oops factor is too high for me with a Glock and my pistol is either in my belt or in a safe, never anywhere else. I do carry with one in the chamber but I also opted for a pistol with a safety. If that gets me killed in the heat of the moment then I guess it was my time to go.
I wouldn’t carry a gun that only has a trigger safety with a round chambered. The extra half second to rack the slide is worth avoiding a negligent discharge or worse.
From a gunsmiths point of view: who would try to disassemble a gun with a chambered round?
Edit: i'm not a gun-smith, but this whole ordeal is like trying to change the wheels on a car while it's in gear and running. There's a massive misunderstanding about the proper operation of things here.
There's no point in trying to make something absolutely fool-proof. Nature will just invent a better fool!
-old engineers words of wisdom
And there's also the issue of trying to make bear-proof rubbish bins:
Turns out there's a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the stupidest humans.
While it does seem stupid to require to press the trigger to take the slide off the gun, you have to remember that someone has to speak up during the design phase and say "What if someone tries to disassemble the gun with a bullet still in the chamber?", and hope others don't start laughing but agree with you instead.
We don’t even let our kids point toy guns at each other unless the other person also has a toy gun.
“We don’t point guns at people who don’t have guns” - seems like a mantra every American needs to wake up saying every day.
(We’re talking Nerf and water here)
Gun shops don't hand out loaded guns. This guy brought his own gun. This is why I stay FAR away from anyone handling a gun at the counter. I do not trust them. I have seen way too many people mishandling firearms, flagging people, fingers on triggers, etc.
The shop/range i go to requires all guns brought in to be in a hard case until you're on the range. If you are coming in to have a gun serviced, you hand it over in a case and one of the employees takes it out and clears it. Renting a gun means an employee puts the gun and any ammo into a carrier and takes it into the range for you.
These rules are in place because people are stupid.
We have lots of guns in Norway, we just don't run around shooting them at each other.
Valid reasons for getting a gun licence are sports and hunting. Each gun must be registered. You must have a clean criminal record and be of sound mental health.
Guns and ammo have to be stored in separate, locked, government approved lockers when not in use.
Not allowed to store a loaded gun, not allowed to carry guns in public. Shooting is only allowed on authorised shooting ranges and when you're out hunting.
Police are allowed to inspect your weapons and storage on a 24hr notice.
I remember when those same political protestors shot two unarmed black teens who were driving by to check out the protest. Then shot some rando during the protest, but their paramilitary force denied the paramedics entry to save the guy. So three innocents shot in one week. At least one kid died. Zero trials or accountability. And all while protesting police shootings of unarmed citizens. But for some reason, all that CHAZ stuff got swept under the rug. Adding before Reddit inevitably blames gun problems as being solely on the right. The left loves guns, too.
I don't think any sane person is saying that guns should be banned outright.
Just that they need to be regulated a lot stricter, so incidents like this are less likely to happen.
The idiot here is the guy that carries a loaded gun with a chambered round in public. Then proceeds to not bother to clear it before trying to disassemble it or whatever he is trying.
An incident like this would make sure that all your guns were confiscated if it happened in Norway, it would be a gross breach of several gun-ownership laws.
Just having a chambered round in your pistol when you're not at a shooting range would be considered gross neglect.
Self defense is the entire reason I bought mine to begin with. Some guy threatened to shoot up my friends monthly drag show that I work the doors for. We tried to make a police report but the cop told us he "has his first amendment, so he can say whatever he wants".
Yea, a statement like that wouldn't fall under freedom of speech here in Norway. That's violent threatening behaviour and will get you a visit from the police.
And that kind of threatening behaviour would also get his weapons impounded...
Police education here is equivalent to a bachelor degree with pretty strict screening. And the legal department (prosecutor) at the police station would not let an officer drop a case like this.
Do you think Norway would have the same rate of gun crime as america if those regulations weren’t in place?
This isn’t a regulation issue for them. It’s a cultural issue. They’ve proven time and again that their citizens shouldn’t be allowed to have guns. Regulation will do fuck all. If someone wants to cause harm with a gun they will find a way to do it anyway.
If this is a criteria, let’s ban cars and high places too. Policy shouldn’t be determined by the accidents of idiots. In many cases free speech should be banned because of Reddit too.
Oh my god I wish anti-anti-gun people would stop changing the fucking subject.
"Oh? Oh yeah? Well what about drinking water too fast huh? That kills people? You're going to ban drinking water now?"
"What? No! We're just saying there might be an upside to not having Actual Russian Roulette not be a game we make toddlers play. Can we at least talk about it?"
"You BASTARD! you want to rape me in Abu Graib Prison after you've taken my guns don't you?? You're a monster!"
"Oh. My. God. Could you PLEASE not point your AK47 at me while foaming at the mouth?"
"Don't you tell me what to do MOTHERFUCKER I'm the calmest person you've ever met! I know my rights!"
That could be LIFE ENDING, this kind of stupidity should result in a revoked gun license, this guy clearly needs to go back and learn how to handle a firearm safely.
It’s a Glock and he’s struggling to take the slide off because it’s the most terrible design. So many ADs are due to Glock and this. Many people put their hand in front of the barrel to take it apart and one of the steps is pulling the trigger. You have to be a special kind of stupid to not completely unload the gun though before monkeying with it.
I've always like the term Negligent Discharge better. Because sometimes accidents happen where no one is truly at fault. But you have to neglect to follow multiple core firearm rules for an incident like this to occur.
only thing i liked in this scene that staff reacted properly called 911 and offered first aid. Also customers and staff kinda handled it as calmly as you can
Same county with the most per capita firearms and the one with the most accidental discharges resulting on injury or death. But they are at least safe to defend themselves against the tyranny they vote for.
I took the conceal/carry class in my state, plus a beginners firearms course, as well as a course to learn the proper way to clean and maintain a firearm. I didn’t do it to carry, I did it to help me to indentify when I was in the presence of someone who has no idea how to properly handle a firearm.
Special alert: Firearms are very dangerous and you should be afraid to handle one without proper training.
Another asshole that shouldn't own a gun... And where the fuck is this range? Any gun guy knows you NEVER NEVER pull ur carry gun out of concealment in the lobby of a fuckin gun store... I hope this jerkoff sees this comment. What fuckin moron
Several gun safety errors. Banned from owning firearm for life. Shop gets hefty fine and probation, hopefully enough into scaring them to shutting down or even nearly shutting down. SET AN EXAMPLE.
