ICE agent sues Sig Sauer for $10M over 320 shooting himself in the leg

Well this is true we should also make note of the fact that the sample rate is functionally higher.... you have this pool of cops that basically carry a loaded gun on duty every day for X hours a shift. Meanwhile on the other side of the fence the non badged daily carry rate, while increasing, is still very minimal compared to the number of gun owners. Most gun owners in the US keep their shit stored and out of use most of the time unless for some purpose driven exercise. It's easier to point to john fudd being safer than john law. John fudd isn't touching his guns nearly as much.

Funny how I never hear about this happening with 1911's. Every time I read about some idjit shooting themselves in the leg it's with a Sig or Glock. Not saying it never happens, just never hear about it. So much for the 1911 being outdated and obsolete. ![[banana]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/029.GIF "Banana [banana]")

Wonder if it has to do with the fact that Modern striker guns might as well be single action, but without manual safeties. Especially bc every year they're coming out with lighter and crisper triggers.
Some of those Walther PPQs and Canik triggers are just too light for me to carry. Range fun yes

Actually.. this guy shot himself with a 1911
Lol... One of the most famous ND videos on the internet involves a 1911. (Tex's video just cited). There's also a locally famous gunshop ND involving a 1911 likely not far from where you reside. But i guess because that guy shot his hand and not his leg, its worth less points?Funny how I never hear about this happening with 1911's.

The installed user base of people carrying 1911s is basically nothing, too. It’s probably less than 5% of all carry guns, by major action type. There are likely more people carrying revolvers right now than 1911s.
Signed, a guy who used to carry colt officer’s mods. Well, and a Delta Elite, too.
Installed user base. There are easily exponentially more striker guns being carried in the US vs any othee type of handgun. 1911s i would be shocked if it was more than low single digit %....Wonder if it has to do with the fact that Modern striker guns might as well be single action, but without manual safeties.

Missed opportunity. If you shot your foot you could have sued someone. Especially if you were hunting with a Remington 700.
Might have been worth the lifetime limp.
The people who read the article in the original post know.

I always carry. Probably way more than your average LEO. And I usually clean my carry gun every two weeks or so, because IWB guns tend to accumulate lint and such, especially in cold weather when you wear sweaters and flannels etc. But i am sure you are right, most civilian gun owners probably don't carry all that often.
Wasn't there a thread about this once? Curious how often most gun owners carry.
I figure the idea is to aim high and let them talk you down.
This guy is claiming that he grabbed the grip and the gun went off? Why wouldn't it have gone off in the holster? Dumbass.

A lot of this depends on where it happened. In liberal states there is a good chance of a multi million dollar settlement. In more consevertative states juries tend to not make that kind of award. I sued the person responsible (along with the employer) for several million. What I received (Which cannot be disclosed.) was enough to repay the hospital 1 M. +, and enough to have me and my family comfortable well beyond my possible lifetime.
Advice; If you ever find yourself with a judgement in your favor or settlement purchase an annuity and have it paid out into a family trust. Depending on how things are structured it's possible to double your money.
If you need a really good personal injury lawyer in NH PM me, I had a good one.

The only time I’ve ever sued anybody I was upset.
But I really should do is start sueing doctors..
You finally go down there after 17 years… because you can’t walk and by the time you leave, you can’t hear or see.
I’d settle for 20 bucks in a pack of smokes
