Laney said Thursday’s incident should not have occurred, because law enforcement personnel receive training on how to handle weapons.

So you know.

Musta been the wide stance.

Just a guess, but I suspect something pulled the trigger. I love my Glocks, but I’m sick of people telling me Glocks have 3 safeties. B.S. Pull the trigger and it goes bang. That’s why I got them.

Maybe Larry Craig was in the next stall trying to pick up the toilet paper on the floor???

Bet he was looking in the mirror doing his “Barney Fife quick draw”, while giving his steeliest Clint Eastwood glare, and things went downhill from there.

Keep the booger hook off the bang switch.

This gives new meaning to the phrase “Shoot the sh-t.

He may have been using a non-standard holster for the Glock, and then it fired when he was “adjusting it” taking down or up his trousers. Use only Glock holsters for Glocks.....even though they look cheap.

Detective Dean Wawers was in the men’s restroom on the main floor of the courthouse about 12:45 p.m. when his standard-issue handgun – a .40-caliber Glock Model 23 – accidentally discharged, Sheriff Paul Laney said Friday during a news conference.

Dam I hate it when that happens.
Then again, when I'm in the Men's Room I don't play the, 'Oh yeah, bet ya mine's bigger than your's', game.

My favorite story about Glocks is the one when the old time officer, so used to hanging his revolver on the bathroom stall door hook, decided it was perfectly ok to do the same with his newly issued Glock. Everything was going to plan until someone in another stall slammed their door.

The Glock emptied out it’s magazine while twirling on the hook. Luckily, no one was killed.

By the way, where’s the video of the “I’m the only one professional to handle this Glock .40”?

Glocks only go off if you put your finger in the trigger guard and pull the trigger. That's what this dufus did.. in the john no less. On rare occasions something else snags on the trigger, there is no "positive" safety which must be disengaged, but that too should not happen as long as the gun remains in it's holster. This being in the mens room, I'd hesitate to speculate about what "something else" might be.

This is apparently Cass county North Dakota, based on the other stories on the site, and the area code of the reporter. Sure wish all on-line stories would include a dateline.

Fixed it.
