MM> what REALLY HAPPENED
 MM> CAN YOU HEAR ME OK BOB?
   You don't need to shout.  I can hear and read fine.  I still have a 
problem 
with what was described - I know that weapon all too well.
   I'm really sorry for the officer, whatever happened.  I still want t know 
what did happen - because although my experience may be limited in some 
areas, 
I have disassembled LTOS of pistols to understand the mechanism - and while I 
can readily accept that this would happen with a pistol with an external 
hammer that was carried cocked, I have grave difficulty imagining a set of 
circumstances (aside from meddling with the mechanism) that would permit a 
Glock to behave in this manner.
 MM> The GLOCK fell and struck the ground. upon striking said ground the 
 MM> weapon discharged causing a .40 bullet to strike officer who dropped his 
 MM> own weapon. Right leg below knee has been amputated. 
 MM> At this point weapon is being examined by TBI who also carry glocks to 
 MM> determine cause. I expect GLOCK  REPS  will examine said weapon as soon 
 MM> as they are permitted. I worked with ALI once and his ciy was part of my 
 MM> assignd terittory.
   I will be interested in their findings.  The ONLY way anyone I know that 
uses Glocks can imagine this happening would be if it were dropped and 
grabbed 
on the way down, actuating the trigger.  A Glock is never at full cock unless 
the rigger is actuated.
