Harris blasted for owning unsafe gun

<< < (2/2)

Michael Bush:
The left has often tried to pass legislation that all guns have a safety.  This of course is absurd as whether they need one or not depends on the action and the design.  A Glock has no safety.  As to model, yes, a Glock owner ALWAYS tells you the model or at least the caliber.  The model number and the caliber are often at odds because they are totally unrelated.

Salvo:
Don't forget:

the *Generation*, Gen 1, 2, 3,....

And the holster rig!

Terri Yaki:
Whether or not a Glock has a safety is arguable, isn't it? Don't they have the safety that sticks out from the front/center of the trigger? My H&K VP9 has one there. And aren't many (if not all) LE's pistols w/o safeties? Or would they be exempt from any such law? The last thing they need is to pull the trigger in the heat of battle, only to find that their safety is on.

Michael Bush:
Yes, it is debatable whether that is a "safety".  But I also think it's debatable that a lever action rifle has a safety.  It's the hammer.  It won't shoot unless the hammer is cocked.  A double action revolver has no safety as pulling the trigger will fire even if the hammer is not cocked.  Of is the heavy hammer pull of double action a "safety"?
