Exactly. The bad answer to the question that never should have been asked.
They seem to be a panacea for the somewhat disinterested and untrained, and particularly for police departments not willing to budget for proper training and enough ammunition to keep their cops proficient with more "complicated" safety and fire control systems.
This kind of nonsense - this new spate of accidental discharges - has one common theme. Glock. I hate the damn things. One of the worst ideas in firearms to ever come down the pike. All it ever had (and still has) going for it was timing - it was the "right" gun at the "right" time, introducing a vastly reduced level of commitment to its purchasers, who have somehow lost sight of the commitment required to carry a sidearm. They can get away with it with less training and less practice than ever before, and the Glock accommodates that. Or so they think...
