transam Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 It seems the loaded pistol had one up the spout in case the "owner" had someone cut him up on the road. I reckon the "owner" even bragged about the pistol, as I doubt tipsy folk would go rummaging down seat pockets...???? The "owner" should be dragged over the coals...

animatic Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Basic safety is hammer down on empty chamber, no matter the weapon.. There is NO legitimate call for 'a chambered round for an officers safety.' He, or others, can be injured just drawing the weapon in this situation. And automatice you can load in a second. With a revolver just a pull to cock-it should rotate a round to fire. This is just bad, bad, bad gun safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamahele Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Some thirty years ago, two of my co-workers were handing a gun in the car after a night of drinking and one shot the other dead. Tragic. The survivor went to prison for killing his best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catoni Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 4 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: Not just that but the Thai Police are trained to keep their weapons loaded (or at least I'm told that), which lends to catastrophic consequences should an untrained person pick up the gun (it should still have a safety). Back story on the above: A number of years back holidaying with Thai friends, 4 of us were drinking late back in a friends room my friend had a 'gun' in his small satchel (bag). I asked to take a look but he said no, because it was loaded. A discussion then ensued about why he would keep his gun loaded, even when he was off duty, I explained that I thought it would be safer to keep the chamber empty, and the cartridge / clip removed. All of my friends were quite adamant that that was riskier for them because when they need a gun they don't have time to load it etc, I was told this is the way they were trained (they all went to Military College and now hold the rank of Pol. Colonel). Thus: I suspect this tragedy could have easily been avoided had the most basic of gun safety standards we would follow in the west have been followed here. Do you know what a “clip” is? How about a “magazine”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catoni Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 1 hour ago, lust said: All police keep a round in the chamber. In a semi-auto pistol, have the magazine loaded. Sure. But apparently in this case it appears the was a round also in the chamber all ready to go. That’s my guess. The chamber should not have had a round in it. I never had a round up the spout in my guns. No reason for that. It doesn’t take all day to rack the slide to chamber a round if you suddenly have need to use your weapon in self defense.

overherebc Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Sad someone is dead but if I gave someone a lift and I got out the car for a pee and came back and they were looking in gloves boxes or whatever they would be walking for the rest of the way.
