I don't recommend that ANYONE carry any firearm without using a holster that encloses the trigger. Protecting the trigger is critical to prevent NDs' from happening.

I checked out the hole in the floor and it isn't much of anything to see. It actually hit in a carpeted area which helped with ricochet or any fragments causing harm. That off-duty was one lucky guy and he should probably retire at 65 and consider that a sad way to end his career.
I can't imagine any agency allowing it's officers to carry w/o a holster. A thug in some alley in Chicago, yes, but a cop? They ought to be more professional than that. And especially not with a glock that basically has NO safety.
The gang bangers and bad guys are the ones who carry loose in their pants... This guy missed the dept memo on that...
You can give peace a chance alright..
I'll seek cover in case it goes badly..

Welcome to the People's Republic of South Carolina.
Actually the Glock series of pistols all feature three (3) safeties, the drop safety, the firing pin safety, and the trigger safety. Unless of course the officer negligently deactivated one of the safety mechanisms, but why would one do so?And especially not with a glock that basically has NO safety.
The Glock pistol design is one of the safest out there. But even with all that, the design cannot make up for basic stupidity.
As with any gun, as well as the Glock, keep that freakin' finger off the trigger is the safest way to handle a gun no matter how stupid one is...
hmmm...what would I do without my Glock...
People complain : "Close the door -- it's cold outside".
But when the door is shut, it is still cold outside.
G'day and G'lock...
Sounds like that passive Glock trigger "safety" isn't so safe.
