And no doubt will.

Off-duty officer suspended after gun discharges in strip club restroom

His gun. Discharged. At a strip club.

The police report states the officer, Chase Delatte, walked into the men’s restroom around 1:38 a.m. to check if his personal firearm in an ankle holster was loaded.

Yeah, sure, he was checking his ankle holster.

The Glock handgun accidentally fired, according to the report.

Went off just like that!

All inappropriate double entendre laced kidding aside, this was just plain old negligent firearm handling. I’m not a big fan of Glocks, but they don’t “just go off” any more than any other modern firearm. For a Glock to fire, two things have to happen. First, are round has to be in the chamber. Second, the trigger has to be pulled. Dropping it won’t do it. Looking at it the wrong way, won’t do it. Nothing but the two conditions I previously wrote will cause a firearm to fire.

Firearms are tools just like any other tool. Handle it properly and safely and it will serve it’s intended purpose. Be an idiot and bad things can happen. In this case the officer is embarrassed and will lose three days pay. He was lucky and hopefully he’ll learn his lesson.
