Glock with a safety?

He had a custom Glock 17.

With a thumb safety.

Flipped off the safety on his G17. It probably made a hammer cocking noise too.

*She

Doubt she had a custom Glock with a safety though lol

It’s a tired argument, “If only someone would have had a gun, they might have stopped it.” But in this case, maybe they would be right.

I certainly would have tried.

Maybe she gets it a little though?

I bought mine at a gun show, with no background check, just cash on the barrel, so to speak.

And she had to throw this little gem in there.

 

[Devils Paintbrush]

Sounds a little embellished to me, kind of like when Maura talks about what constitutes an "assault rifle".

There I was in the thick of it with smoke all around me, but I decided to use my .45 as a backup since I was carrying a punch knife /s.

Do Glocks Have Safeties?

 

[Rob Boudrie]

He left out the part of sending his gun to Joe Cominolli in upstate NY for the safety.

Makes one wonder if the entire article is a fabrication.

Folks are hammering the author in the comments section!

It would be more appropriate to strike the author.

Glock 17 with a safety

And after being rammed THREE times "May I help you gentlemen with anything?” I asked.

I suspect embellishment.

She flipped off her Glock safety, bought it without a background check at a gun show and of course was rammed from behind repeatedly by rednecks in a pickup truck on the highway for having a joke bumper sticker.

Yeah sure Lady.

And of course even though she says they got threats all the time even decades ago, the recent violence is Trumps fault.

These a-hole media liars are everyone's enemy, especially the enemy of truth.

 

[Glockster30]

...was rammed from behind repeatedly by rednecks....

I believe that she was rammed from behind repeatedly by rednecks.

 

[Kicker96FS]

Is she hot?

 

[jhblaze1]

cool fake story.

 

[LuvDog]

They do make kits to add an after market thumb safety... and didn't they have some prototypes with safeties for some LEO/Mil Contracts?

Although, I'm doubting either of those were true here.

 

[Zappa]

You people are interpreting it wrong.

Here's the exact quote:

I opened my glove compartment, took out my Glock 17, and flipped off the safety.

It's obvious to me that he gave the "bird" to the trigger blade safety.

 

[StevieP]

If it was the 90's she may actually have been able to buy it at a gun show without a background check. BG checks started in '98, right?

Brady mandated that FFLs use whatever state system was available until NICS launched in 98, so technically it started in 93.

And the Anita Hill thing was 91 I think, so maybe it's possible after all.

Booyah

 

[Mountain]

Does flipped off the safety mean booger hook on the trigger?

General tone of the article is positive. Too bad she blew some important details in her piece of fiction.

 

[Heathen]

That article is a complete work of fiction.

 

[ccm75]

Total BS.
No mention of CA license. She just moves from TX to CA and brings her fake Glock to work?

 

[kmanick]

I had to add a comment, what a crock of Sh*t

 

[Lokdog]

And she wonders why most everyone hates the fake liar news outlets! She summed it up in one fake story. Talk about ironic (and moronic)

The obvious explanation is that she was driving past a football game at the time.

 

[Lip]

Worthless yellow journalism tripe I doubt for a second any of that drivel happened.

Siderloc not enough?
