Gotta maintain your equipment.
One should be inspecting their firearm frequently enough to notice when pins start walking out of the trigger or frame.
I'm not buying the pin thing, but I know of an LEO who had a similar AD because a jacket tie-thing got caught in the trigger guard. As he zipped up the jacket (or adjusted it somehow, can't quite remember), it pulled just right/wrong and pulled the trigger. Shot himself in the foot, with his hand nowhere near the gun.
There was a room full of other officers, so that helped.
When a Glock goes off in a room of police, do they all look at each other and say, "it wasn't me" and point at the guy next to them?I'm not buying the pin thing, but I know of an LEO who had a similar AD because a jacket tie-thing got caught in the trigger guard.

There is more to the story...not buying it...
