Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Just where does the weapons manufacturer 'Glock' get off producing firearms that discharge? The atrocious record of these guns firing is long and storied.
One of the best examples was caught on video. You may have seen this clip in Bizarre News before. This poor, hapless officer is shot by the deadly Glock while teaching a gun safety seminar. If you haven't seen the video you can click the link below.

Gun Safety - The Glock 40
Yet another disturbing example came to light when another police officer who was shot by a Glock brought a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
Los Angeles police officer Enrique Chavez was shot in the back by his own weapon. The off-duty officer had forgotten that he had stowed his loaded .45-caliber Glock, upholstered and with a round apparently chambered, securely under the front seat of his Ford Ranger, I am assuming according to department regulations concerning the proper transport and storage of firearms.
With the weapon safely out of sight and out of mind, although unfortunately not out of reach, Chavez loaded his 3-year-old son into the vehicle. Since the streets of Los Angeles are so safe to drive Chavez did not secure the toddler in a child safely seat.
The inquisitive fingers of the boy soon found the weapon while he was crawling around the vehicle, and that is when the treacherous Glock fired, hitting the officer in the back.
Chavez is now suing the company claiming the Glock 21 had a light trigger and lacked a grip safety.
Perhaps, if this suit is successful, we can finally live in a world where you can hand a toddler a loaded handgun and feel confident you won't get shot in the back.
Bizarrely,
Lewis
