Everytime this happens, people come on and say "training, training, training". The vast majority of people don't GET any training, because nobody says they have to, they don't want to spend the money, or because they feel they HAVE been trained by some equally incompetent shooter.
On another forum I belong to, there was a debate about a safety being on a semi auto. Some police chief shot himself in the leg in a gun shop with his Glock. The glock fanboys started in with the "my finger is my safety" and "my safety is between my ears". Many others, like myself, feel they are an asset, since they reduce the likelihood of an AD. And with very little practice, they become intuitive. After all, people carried semi auto's for decades until Glock graced mankind with his presence.
So one guy gets on there, and starts screaming about people liking safeties are afraid of their guns. He says his teachers in his "advanced pistol course" taught him safeties are dangerous and will get you killed. Says he carries his Beretta PX4 chambered and cocked.
So I figure he's mistaken and ask him to clarify. Was he really carrying a Beretta PX4 cocked with the hammer back on a live round? Couldn't be, right? WRONG! He WAS carrying it that way! according to him and his "teachers", it's no different than a Glock! Didn't understand a striker fired weapon over a hammer fired.
I bet this woman had BASIC instruction, and by that I mean "the bullet comes out of this end".
This is why I shoot on weekdays and early. Too many idiots thinking they're competent out there who don't know squat about guns.
And I bet the gun used here was a Glock or some other striker fired safety-less auto. She's not carrying a steel gun in a bra. And I bet she got that gun because "the cops use these so they're the best, right?"
