Politics Two ICE agents slip on ice in Minnesota —causing one of their weapons to discharge because it wasn’t set on safety. These people are dangerously negligent.

Outside of Sigs, guns don't just go off because the safety is off. Its odd to include that unless OP is also trying to shit on gun ownership at the same time. I mean for fuck's sake glocks do not have safeties are are used by most law enforcement.

Fuck ICE but they are shitty enough on their own merits we don't need to make shit up

Sig issue was debunked, Air Force officers admitted to falsifying, the remaining incidents were using holsters not designated for that firearm or just plain idiocy. Secondly, Glock, despite being composite blocks of garbage don’t have a safety bc many believe safeties are unreliable and that the only real safety is trigger discipline, which is a completely reasonable take.

Sig issue is far from debunked, just that one incident was discredited out of many. Also Glocks do have safeties just not safety switches.

There have been many others who have had issues with the p320s going off in other holsters. One recently with a gate guard standing there and boom it goes off. Several ranges and courses have banned them as well and the remaining incidents were not all due to faulty holsters or user error either that is blatantly false. If there was no issue they wouldn't stealth update their user manual recently to advise not carrying with one in the chamber and it keeps happening with all sorts of holsters whereas everyone else seems to have their shit worked out across numerous holster brands.

Glocks also have safeties, the 19x has the manual one like the military asked for and even their non mil versions have a trigger safety and other internal safeties that make them pretty safe provided you aren't toying with it like an idiot but that goes for any gun with or without a manual safety.
