Police officer injured at specialist training course at Police College last week after putting Glock pistol back into holster. The potentially fatal accident comes six months after IPCA revealed a M4 semi-automatic was fired inside a police station.
A police officer is off work after shooting himself in the buttocks with a Glock pistol.

He was putting the firearm back in its holster when the gun went off.

The accidental discharge happened last week on the firing range at Police College where the officer was on a specialist training course.

"The officer was not badly injured and is expected back to work at their home station later this week," said Inspector Dave Rose, the manager of Tactical Training.

If he cannot operate a semiautomatic weapon, issue him a revolver.

The guns are being taken away from innocent members of the public. The gangs and the police still have their arsenals to play with.

Yes

There are numerous gangs in New Zealand, of varying criminality, organisation and ethnicity, including outlaw motorcycle gangs, street gangs and ethnically based gangs. A chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle club was formed in Auckland in 1961, the first Hells Angels chapter outside the US.[1] Soon after, the Mongrel Mob formed in Hastings and Wellington, developing into a predominantly Māori and Pacific Islander gang, and having the largest membership in the country. Through the 1960s and 1970s other outlaw motorcycle clubs and ethnically based gangs formed, including another predominantly Māori gang, Black Power (not related to the African-American movement), which grew to rival the Mongrel Mob.

How does this happen with a Glock? Why is your finger inside the trigger guard during the reholstering of your sidearm?
