The same people that want teachers armed are the same ones that call them groomers. Doesn't make much sense to be arming the groomers. But that little bit of logic seems lost like tears in the rain.
I gave my interpretation, but you can read the article and make your own judgement call.
Evidently Texas got some kind of HUGE grant, because every school I know of has its own “police department” now. All the school cops I know are just the rejects from city or county departments.
And y'all poo poo on the Springfield XD's grip safety."The deputy’s service pistol, a SIG Sauer P320, remained secured in a Safariland holster throughout the incident, according to the release. Upon inspection, detectives found that the weapon’s slide was locked in place, with the spent shell casing still chambered. Detectives had to manually eject the casing, the press release stated."
"Investigators discovered a significant gap between the gun’s trigger guard and the holster’s design, which allowed for manipulation of the trigger while the weapon was holstered. Detectives were able to replicate the discharge using an unloaded weapon and holster, confirming that a child’s finger could manipulate the trigger through the gap, according to the sheriff’s office."
New Details Released Following Deputy’s Gun Discharge At Elementary Playground
New details were released in a press release Tuesday after a McClain County Sheriff’s Office school resource deputy’s service pistol accidentally discharged on Dec. 13 on a school playground.www.news9.com
Upon further inspection of the Streamlight TLR1 HL flashlight mounted to the SIG Sauer P320 inside the Safariland 6000 series holster, a significant gap was located between the P320’s trigger guard and the holster’s trigger guard, allowing for the trigger to be easily manipulated and gun to be discharged while the service weapon was secured inside the holster with the holster’s retention mechanism engaged.
Detectives performed a series of tests in an attempt to recreate the event. Detectives were successful in recreating the event with the unloaded weapon and holster using adult fingers, confirming a child’s finger would easily be able to manipulate the trigger through the gap in the holster. Based on the findings of the investigation, Detectives concluded the child manipulated the trigger of the Deputy’s weapon, causing it to discharge while in the holster.
These findings have also been consistent with other agencies’ accidental discharge investigations related to similar service pistols and holsters, including the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Currently, Deputies provide their own service pistol and duty holster. The McClain County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a thorough review of all weapons systems carried by its Deputies and will be reviewing Department-issued weapons systems options moving forward."
