Robb, what are you thinking about this “safety issue”?

Who’s to blame, the detective, the toddler, or the gun?

An off-duty Los Angeles police officer who was paralyzed after his young son accidentally shot him in 2006 filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the manufacturer of the gun involved in the accident.

Enrique Chavez of Anaheim was shot in the back by his 3-year-old son after the boy grabbed his father’s Glock 21 — a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol — from the back seat of his pickup truck.

Loaded gun sitting on the back seat of your pickup where your toddler is. And you’re calling lawyers to go after … Glock.

The lawsuit, filed in Superior Court, alleges that Glock Inc.’s gun was dangerous because its safety device was “non-existent or ineffective” at preventing an accidental shot.

Chavez, 35, is also suing the manufacturer of the gun’s holster and the retail stores that sold him the gun and the holster. He bought the gun at the Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club and purchased a holster made by Uncle Mike’s and Bushnell Outdoor Products from Turner’s Outdoorsman.

All this proves is that you can be an officer and a retarded dickhead at the same time.

The lawsuit alleges the defendants knew the safety device was defective and that 5.5 pounds of pressure on the trigger frequently results in accidental discharges.

Particularly if you leave the loaded weapon on your backseat where your toddler is. I mean really. Now, this is in California, so who knows what kind of legs this suit will have, if anything else it’ll raise the volume on that steady drumbeat the anti folks love to pound. In a proper world, this guy would be brought up on child neglect charges.

The lawsuit alleges product liability, breach of warranty and loss of consortium, and seeks general, special and punitive damages, and attorneys fees.

Un-farking-believable. I’m going to go bash my head in with a 2X4 so I can take Home Depot and TREES to court.
