I get so annoyed at people stating as fact things that are not true. The above statement is not true. Maybe in Philly, but not in California. If that was the case, Every major department in California would be issuing holsters violating that supposed law. Please get your FACTS straight, Someone might mistake you as someone who knows what they are talking about
In an earlier post someone else stated that he knew the officer had previously drew his weapon and then put it back in the holster because there was already a round in the chamber...I think some people have seen to many chamber a round for dramatic effect before confronting the bad guy scenes in movies and tv...Other then the Military Police and maybe that has changed now, Every Police Officer keeps a round in the chamber and are trained that way from the academy
It's little things like this that can make a citizens review board a problem. I've said it before, If the review board is trained and required to go on a number of ride-alongs and subjected to real life and real time situations, I'm all for it. But I'll be damned if I gonna be judged by someone whose only experience is watching TJ hooker or reading Pelican Off topic threads and thinking m21sniper is a subject matter expert.
The average citizen doesn't have a clue as evidenced by some of posts by people on this board.
How does something like this happen......Stress. really unfortunate.
Sniper, I do agree with you about the Manual Safety. Alot of agenices(mine included) are not authorized Glocks because of the lack of manual safety.
