Modified? Link please? I'm curious. I'm a gunsmith and i've never seen any Glock modified to include a safety on the slide. As I said, the only one I'm aware of is the Glock 18 (and 18C, the compensated version) 9mm machine pistol...which is one of the main reasons you see those big honkin' 32 rd 9mm magazines floating around all over the place.

Carrying a Glock takes training and discipline. It's not like a 1911 where you can carry it fully chambered and skip on down the street without a care in the world.

Carrying a Glock is like that quote from Black Hawk Down. "This here's *my* safety." *wiggles trigger finger*

That being said...*I* carry a Glock 22, the full-sized .40 S&W version for the firearms-uneducated.


Additionally, I forgot to mention. Most agencies *do* carry their TASERs in a cross-draw rig on the opposite hip of their duty firearm. It allows you to draw either your firearm or your LTL with your strong hand. Truly, I fail to see how a police officer can confuse the two...especially since the TASER has a big yellow sticker on the back of it to help distinguish the two.

At least my stepbro's does, anyway. Not sure if it's a standard equipment sticker. I've never sold a TASER like that. The first linked one has a MSRP of $1000. Not many people willing to drop the cash on something that expensive that won't even "finish the job."

The gun could easily be one of these:

Notice the trigger guard?

I think you are just rambling and trying to say anything to defend the dead guy.

I am just here telling you my point of view. There is a big difference.

I think you should read Netwarriors' post above, the one where he is a gunsmith and completely debunks your theory.

I think you should get a clue before you post.

I have no theory. WTH you talking about.

Glocks are known to accidentally discharge, END OF DISCUSSION.

Here is an interesting little paragraph I found while perusing news sources about this incident....

From www.sfgate.com.../c/a/2009/01/04/BA0R153LGU.DTL

BART officials declined to say whether the officer was carrying a Taser - a device that sends out two electrical probes and can incapacitate its target - when he shot Grant. The agency uses Tasers but does not have enough of the expensive devices to give one to every officer.

Normally, officers who finish a shift give their Taser to an officer starting a shift. But with so many extra officers working on Wednesday and Thursday in expectation of holiday revelry, there were not enough Tasers to go around.

So basically the fact that he meant to draw a taser is in question because it seems that BART have a shortage of tasers and, being New Years it may very well have been that he was never equipped with one. If this turns out to be true then I guess there really is no argument....the man was shot in cold blood.

Eh no, your analysis is wrong I'm afraid.
Your special, you know that?
I'm adding you to my friends list.
BTW if you could kindly point out where I defend the dead guy please.(omg u called him a "guy" instead of a negro, ur changing! *crowd cheers*)

So you think this guy deserved to die. Based on all we know at this point, his death seems justified to you?

And you didn't tell me my "race" yet...I'm still waiting mate.

You think I am trying to lie or something?

How am I racist? Stating FACTS about "Negros" in prisons? Using the name "Negro"?

United Negro College Fund
www.uncf.org...


en.wikipedia.org...

, the appellation was accepted as a normal neutral formal term both by those of Black African descent as well as non-African blacks

"Negro" means "black" in Spanish, Portuguese, and ancient Italian[6] - all of which derive from the Latin niger (i.e. "black").

Calling me racist, is racist.

Oh yeah. I nearly forgot. You said "slide mounted." Those two examples you posted are frame mounted.

So you are going to heckle me because of a choice of words I used. Nice. What I meant was a "safety near the slide". Honest mistake.

for the record, this is the exact quote from me:

And if the cops gun is a Glock, that would mean the saftey is on the slide, and that style saftey is known to get bumped on and off when drawing your gun from a holster.


On the slide, near the slide, whatever... After market thumb safetys for Glocks are right against the slide.

THANKS FOR MISQUOTING ME. Disinfo.

Now scuttle off and find me a slide mounted safety conversion for a Glock so you can try to back up your point.

Back up what point? WTH are you talking about, you think I'm like trying to debate something?? There is one FACT, GLOCKS ARE KNOWN TO ACCIDENTLY DISCHARGE.

Wow, people these days.

Here is just 2 examples where you have shown you racist attitude....

Both of the answers to the above questions point to the reason why he got shot. BECAUSE HE WAS BEING A TYPICAL NEGRO. Yeah, I said it. Truth hurts.

So you have basically put all African-Americans into the same basket. Racist? You betya.

Here's another...directed at another poster on this forum...

You are, by dictionary definition, a racist.

www.infoplease.com...

About 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African-American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college.

The African American prisoners mentioned above are what I call "typical"

Just stating facts.....
