I’ve not heard of this Condition 0 with the safety thing before.
How do non-safety mechanism equipped pistols fall into this condition ?
Not a cheap pistol. I have a 45 Defender and a 45 New Agent, but any gun in that species or lower is usually a $500 or higher priced gun.
“Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” I presume wifey did not want him to read verses from his Koran to the officers.
Kieth Scott should not be called the “Charlotte Victim”.
I don’t assume the condition of the gun in the photo is necessarily the condition of the gun when the dude was carrying it. It seems logical to me that when the cops found the gun they cleared it to make it safe. There’s a good chance they dropped the mag and racked the slide to remove the round from the chamber. I don’t think the photo tells us anything about how the guy carried it.
I saw that in the picture also.
I would never expect a liberal newspaper to report this.
Although to be 100% fair I could not tell if the chamber was loaded or not. Why cock the pistol if the chamber is not loaded? It makes it a bit easier to rack the slide to load a round, the shooter does not have to overcome the spring force to cock the hammer.
The lazy drive by media doesn’t know the difference and doesn’t care. All they see is an evil “gun”.
“... he was ready to rock and roll.”
You shouldn’t use that term...you’ll confuse the media.
LOL.
(P.S. - WE know what you mean.)
Several years ago, after a few training classes, I went from 1911s and Milt Sparks to Glocks and Raven Concealment. Never looked back.
(taking cover from incoming!) 8~)
The picture I saw had the thumb safety off.
Hammer back.
READY TO FIRE.
If there is one in the pipe he is at Condition Zero!
Is it a Mustang .380 or an old Star mini 1911 lookalike.
Colt 380 Mustang makes it a lot less likely to be a throwdown gun. A Jennings or Bryco? More likely. Even a Taurus. But THIS?
No, this is not a throwdown gun.
“After review by the officials”... I think you are right. It is a Colt.
Who’s gun? Do you mean the bad guy’s gun? The guy that wouldn’t drop it when told to do so ,repeatedly, by the police? Terrible what passes for journalism nowadays....
