After my accident, and I had recovered enough to go back to NM to get my stuff, my brother drove me up in his truck. On the way back, we had a truck load of juicy theft material. We stopped at a DQ and brother went in. I told him I'd stay with the truck, because I still hurt pretty badly and needed to do a little bit of stretching before we finished that last 200 miles.
I was behind the truck, with one heel on the bumper, doing forward stretches, and some low-life came cruising by to relieve me of my property. My carry was behind the seat, brother's was in the console.
Brother carries a Glock. I hates 'em.
I got to the console, cleared nylon and 'splained that it was a Glock and they went off 'accidentally' all the time.
Lowlife made like a dot on the horizon.
I was very careful to not stick the booger hook near the bang switch.

I’ve had a glock for 14 years and have never had a problem.

This was SOP for people carrying revolvers for decades. Don’t want your firearm to discharge? Keep your finger out of the trigger guard!
Then pistols became popular, and somehow 1-3 manually-actuated safeties became necessary for many. And many of them seem to think such should be mandatory.
I do not understand this.
Regarding this incident, not using a proper retention holster in that environment borders on criminal negligence by the cop.
