Someone doesn't know their firearm safety rules.Well, it was thought to be a prop gun, as in wall-hanger, reasonable to assume it cannot go bang.
And how did that 'prop' ammo get into and it go 'bang' ?Well, it was thought to be a prop gun, as in wall-hanger, reasonable to assume it cannot go bang.
We only know that he broke 2 of the 3 rules.Someone doesn't know their firearm safety rules.
This pretty much explains it all.For a rap video
Someone doesn't know their firearm safety rules.
A modified Glock looks like a Glock to me. I wasn't talking about you personally in regards to the safety rules. I was talking about the kid who pointed the gun and pulled the bang switch.I know firearm safety rules quite well, the operative word is firearm. Not everything that looks like a gun, is a gun.
Fair enough, sorry I misinterpreted.A modified Glock looks like a Glock to me. I wasn't talking about you personally in regards to the safety rules. I was talking about the kid who pointed the gun and pulled the bang switch.
Either way it is the kids fault."I was talking about the kid who pointed the gun and pulled the bang switch."
I thought the article said the gun fired without pulling the trigger.
Anything you see in the media (particularly if it involves guns) is of doubtful veracity, so that may or may not be true...
I get the feeling that there's more to it than is readily apparent.

As far as proper handling it does not matter! You treat it as a firearm until there is absolute assurance from everyone in the space that it is not.
Movie prop guns are triple checked by three independant technicians and then the individual actors involved with the scene (yes prop guns shooting 5 in 1 blanks can kill and injure).
Law enforcement has everyone check each other to ensure they all have blue guns and no duty arms or ammo in the training space.
There are other examples but this post is getting long.

The reason: the Glock pistol had been modified,
They had handled guns before and "had a history of playing around with firearms,"
Otiza had purchased the weapon from an "unidentified party" a few months before. (The gun was actually reported stolen from Broward County. Otiza had faced a weapons charge, but it too was dismissed.)
Believing the gun didn't work, Otiza had tried fixing the Glock a month before the shooting.
