"BAY MINETTE, Ala. — A small child accidentally shot his mother Saturday night after finding the gun by the side of his injured father — who had just accidentally shot himself, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office said. Around 9 p.m. the BCSO was alerted to the shooting at 4621 Old Carney Road in Bay Minette. When they arrived at the home they found Allen and Aleisha Jones injured by gunshots. The couple's two small children were at the residence when the incident happened. Their daughter was upstairs asleep at the time. When questioned by authorities, Allen Jones stated he had taken his Glock .40 handgun from the glove compartment of his truck. He was walking to the house when he tripped and fell. The gun discharged, and he was hit in the leg just above the knee, he told police. Jones yelled to his wife for help. Aleisha Jones was upstairs bathing their young son when she heard her husband's call for help. When she arrived on the screened porch, she tried to secure the gun but her son beat her to it. As she attempted to take the gun from the child, a round fired. Aleisha Jones was hit in the left side of her neck. A neighbor heard the gunshots and cries for help and came to Aleisha Jones's aid. The neighbor's husband called 911. When authorities arrived, Allen and Aleisha Jones were transported to USA Medical Center in Mobile. Investigators say the individuals' stories parallel each other. At last report, the Joneses were in stable condition with injuries that did not appear life-threatening. No charges have been filed"

why the fuck do glocks not have safetys

3/1/2011 6:03:53 AM

more like, why the fuck was his finger on the trigger?

3/1/2011 7:15:48 AM

they do have safeties. they don't have manual "on/off" safeties like, say, a 1911...nor do they need them. most handguns don't have safeties.

i'd like to see how the pistol went off from him tripping and falling with it. Either he was carrying it with his fucking finger inside the trigger guard, or he is the most unlucky dude around.

Why he was about to carry a chambered round into his house is what I want to know.

3/1/2011 7:32:12 AM

eh? mine is always chambered. i'd hate to have to tell mr. criminal to please wait while i load a round.

I also bet you don't have kids.

3/1/2011 7:42:31 AM

I also bet you that doesn't matter. I've walked into a house with kids and my pistol loaded. oh the horror! anyone not an idiot won't end up with troubles. there is no law against carrying your firearm loaded around kids and there is no reason to think that it's such a bad thing.
