dreamvoid 06/26/18 7:48:30 PM #1:	https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44617081 A six-year-old child in the US state of Indiana found a loaded handgun in a couch at Ikea and fired it, police say. The weapon had fallen into cushions as a shopper sat down to test the sofa at the store in a suburb of the state capital, Indianapolis. Nobody was hurt in Monday's incident and no arrests have been made. Ikea said it had expressed "sincerest apologies" to the child's family. Police say the gun-owner did not notice he had dropped his firearm. "He sat down and somehow or another it became dislodged from this body and when he got up he didn't realise that he was without it," Tom Weger of the Fishers Police Department told the Washington Post. The owner continued shopping and only became aware he had lost his gun when he heard gunfire. The child fired one shot into a sofa cushion after "just a few minutes" of playing with the weapon, Mr Weger added. "As soon as he realised there was a commotion in the store, the gun-owner quickly identified himself.... and fully co-operated with the investigation," he continued. In its statement, Ikea said the "safety and security of customers and co-workers is the top priority". Ikea "has a no-weapon policy in our locations to prevent exactly these types of situations," their statement continued. Lawyer Guy Relford told local station WTTV News the gun-owner was unlikely to face any charges. he should face some kind of punishment for being so careless. --- https://imgur.com/2Qfzt9X https://imgur.com/qlXpj2E https://imgur.com/rPe48jC https://imgur.com/5xltd3r <cite>dreamvoid posted [p:904020238] in Gun owner ...

DarkTransient 06/26/18 7:57:23 PM #15:	The gun owner is absolutely responsible for this.

I mean, it depends a lot on the holster and the position on your body but like the gun can kind of get caught in the back of a chair and get pulled out of the holster as you get up. The gun would have to be pretty light not to notice this though I think. As for why a lot of guns no longer have safeties it's because Glock (I think) made trigger safeties really popular. So I guess it's not accurate to say they don't have safties (although a lot still don't have any safety at all, usually because of their size) but the safeties don't work like normal safeties. --- https://imgtc.com/i/XLz4tpM.jpg <cite>AlecSkorpio posted [p:904022427] in Gun owner ...

That sounds odd. its another step you have to worry about, which under duress isnt good. it takes a lot more training and practice to get good at manually activating the safety once you pull it from the holster and even then its hard to know if your brain will click when under heavy pressure so a lot of people opt to not have one to worry about at all and put their faith in their trigger discipline and a good holster. while very rare they can also hinder the functionality of guns with extra parts of the firearm that could be damaged or come undone (like rubbing up against something engaging or disengaging the safety). this is/was an issue with new smith and wesson revolvers that had their keylocks be engaged while firing when they wernt supposed to. <cite>Dark_Spiret posted [p:904022946] in Gun owner ...
