True. I have a great friend that is a Marine sniper, former police sniper, former USMC Pistol team member, current firearms instructor, and a major contributor to “The Armory Life” publications and videos. He’s truly a great man and dear friend. He has been teaching civilians varying firearms classes and after 20+ years he had his first unintended discharge on the range where there was an injury.That normally takes a finger but if anything depresses the trigger the gun is designed to fire. That would not be any sort of accident but a negligent discharge.
The pistol in question was a ….wait for it…… GLOCK! It happened while reholstering. It was after a drill and the shooter was wearing a coat with a draw string with plastic keepers on it. One of those got into the trigger guard as the pistol was being put back in the holster, BANG!
Pistol’s fault?
Holster’s fault?
Operator’s fault?
Just a bad accident?
As NTH3 said: When the trigger gets pulled…..
