Really, really, and really. Broke every single rule.

This dumbazz gomer shouldn’t have been let out of the house with anything deadlier than a marsh mellow, let alone a firearm.

At the time he was trying to attach a tactical light.

Onto a loaded gun.

The gene pool would have been well served if he had shot himself in the head.

[Reno89519]

Seems like operator error. Gun loaded, pointed at foot, hand on gun, what could go wrong?

[Pollster1]

his Glock 19C pistol discharged unexpectedly at the shooting range in June 2013, the lawsuit says. At the time he was trying to attach a tactical light.

I don't expect any sensible person to mount something on a loaded firearm, let alone on a Glock. I love Glocks, but they are not for rookies or for the reckless. They fire every time you pull the trigger when they're loaded, which is why I never do cleaning or gunsmithing on a loaded Glock - but the Glock is my go-to home defense weapon (until I can get to a 12 gauge shotgun).

The cop should lose the case, since he was reckless. The cop should also lose his job since he doesn't know how to handle firearms.

I would be too embarrassed to let my name be associated with such stupid behavior.

The gun worked just like it was supposed to. The shooter was defective. End of story.

[ought-six]

The idiot was adding accessories on a loaded weapon? So much for the myth of the cop as a “trained professional.”

[Chode]

100%... what a buffoon

[Red in Blue PA]

Trying to attach a Tactical light to a chambered gun? Effing brilliant. And this clown wants to advertise to the world How stupid he is?

[sarge83]

Darwin awards top candidate if he had hit himself between the eyes. Unfortunately he has probably already bred and passed on the stupidity gene. Glock should win this one easily.

[Noumenon]

So he was gunsmithing a loaded gun?

Sure - what could possible go wrong? /sarc

The stupid, it burns.

[PROCON]

Good old Tex. I saw this before and his next apology video.

Lucky he didn't hit his femoral artery and bleed out.

[Mad Dawg]

Yes!

I even have badger paperclips for my rubber band gun!

Wise men fear me.

[OldSmaj]

...when his Glock 19C pistol discharged unexpectedly...

Pistols...nay, ANY firearm, does NOT discharge unexpectedly.

I do not like Glocks...that dislike having nothing to do with the lack of a manual safety, more to do with the overall engineering and mechanics of the weapon, but when one places one's finger on the trigger, one should expect a discharge.

Period.

To argue the firearm is defective simply because one is too stupid to follow protocol when handling a firearm...is, well, stupid.

Attempting to install an accessory on a loaded firearm is even more stupid...as stupid as attempting to clean a loaded firearm.

You can't fix stupid, nor should stupid be compensated.

[smokingfrog]

He hasn’t suffered enough and should be thankful to be alive despite his stupidity.

[AndyJackson]

Guns are always loaded, no matter what.

Don't point a gun at something unless you intend to shoot it. He pointed it at his foot...

[AndyJackson]

I would be too embarrassed

Stepped on a long spike in a field. Honest, Doc. Just patch me up and let me go home. Do you have a back exit from this place?

[Manly Warrior]

Sooo, a cop ( expert etc) attempted to attached a rail flashlight to his fully loaded Glock ( or any firearm). He shoots himself and he has the gall to try to sue? Okay.
