How sad, the daughter should have cleared the weapon before handing it ot her dad, and the dad should have pointed the glock down range. Another sensless accident that could have been avoided.

The late, great Colonel Jeff Cooper postulated four cardinal rules of gun safety. 1) All guns are always loaded, and treated as such. 2) Never allow the muzzle to point at anything you are not prepared to see destroyed. 3) Do not let your finger enter the trigger guard unless and until you are in the very act of intentionally firing the weapon. 4) Be certain of your target.

never liked the "pull trigger to field strip" weapon part.
I love Glocks, but I'm sure that this isn't the first death due to someone pulling the trigger to field strip. It's not Glock's fault, it's the people who forget the basic safety rules.

Re: Ignoring basic safety rules!! Dad shoots daughter at range.
So very sad....I live by the tennant; eject the magazine, clear the weapon three times and check for a round visually and with your pinky. Do that and I guarantee you will never shoot yourself or an innocent bystander!

It is a sad day surely when a father kills their child due to such things.
The story linked said that she was killed in their home when he attempted to field strip it there for cleaning...
