That said, she is a cop and is likely to own a Glock regardless of whether that is the gun she discharged.<BR/><BR/>Guns don't just go off, even with a round in the chamber, without some impulse or excitement to the primer: such as cooking off a round when the pistol is extremely hot from shooting mucho rounds and is left with a round chambered, or dropping the piece and inertia moves the firing pin/striker in rare instances. <BR/><BR/>Again, very rare in modern handguns. It is clear by the text of the article and thus your query that the cause of the discharge was not disclosed but I would bet it went off when....The trigger was pulled!<BR/><BR/>QueeQuegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-23825626764579554362007-06-13T14:19:00.000-04:002007-06-13T14:19:00.000-04:00Sleep shooting?Sleep shooting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
