Seems to be lots of misinformation on the Glock pistol. If indeed this was a Glock and the trigger was pulled it did exactly what it was designed to do ..... it fired. The glock actually has 3 safeties unlike most revolvers which don't have any (unless you consider a heavy trigger pull a safety).

I would also add that if you are carrying a semiauto with an empty chamber you need to study the George Zimmerman case closely.

I often see that Glock has “safeties”

Perhaps they stop accidental discharge from dropped weapons, but pretty much anything that pushes the trigger with about 5 pounds of pressure makes it shoot. Glock can call it a safety, but it don’t.

I use my Glock 17 at the range, but would never carry it with a round in the chamber.
