Okay, I was just channel surfing this morning when I came across a case on Court TV in which a young woman was charged with the negligent homicide of her sister. This isn't that important
What is important is that during the ensuing investigation, the investigating officer arrived on scene and found a loaded, Condition 1 1911 lying on a couch. He was so naive as to the operation of this gun that he removed the magazine and tried to rack the slide to clear the gun. The slide would not move. It was jammed he assumed. I'm sure most of you know where this is going by now. The weapon was in condition 1, meaning the safety was engaged. YOU CANNOT MOVE THE SLIDE ON A 1911 WHEN THE SAFETY IS ENGAGED. The officer claimed he had never encountered such a weapon that disengaged the motion of the entire slide, that it must be a rare design!
This man carries a gun everday in order to "serve and protect" innocent lives. I sure hope he knows his way around his Glock (I assume) a little better.
I will now step off the soapbox.
