A British woman who was shot dead by her father while visiting his home in Texas had argued with him about US President Donald Trump earlier that day, an inquest has heard.
Lucy Harrison, from Warrington in Cheshire, was shot in the chest on 10 January 2025 in Prosper, near Dallas.
Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old’s death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him.
An inquest into Lucy Harrison’s death opened earlier at Cheshire Coroner’s Court, where her boyfriend Sam Littler described the “big argument” about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office.
I do not like Glocks. Quite simply, I prefer pistols with a manual safety which Glocks do not have. That said, a Glock WILL NOT FIRE unless your finger is on the trigger. A Glock’s safety mechanism is on the trigger itself.
If you are going to own a firearm, GO TO TRAINING. Trigger discipline should be muscle memory so that even piss drunk you keep your finger off the goddamn trigger until youbare ready to pull. If the guy was trained in firearm use, then he 100% murdered his daughter on purpose.
MAGA is a cult and its members are mentally ill.
“Don’t aim a gun at anything you don’t want to destroy”
“Keep your booger hook off the bang lever”
Yeah, if you are going to checks notes point your gun at your daughter, at least have some goddamn checks notes trigger discipline!
I"m giving that piece of shit A LOT of leeway by assuming he wasn’t purposefully pointing the gun at her and rather just holding it to show. (That’s cutting about ten miles of slack.) If that’s what he was doing (doubtful) then he should not have had his finger on the trigger.
My gut tells me that his MAGA poisoned brain, having the impulse control impaired by alcohol, pointed the gun at her and his finger twitched, because deep down he wanted to “kill the b!t¢h” that dared insult his god emperor. The bang instantly sobered him up and broke his hateful trance. That’s when he started cryring for
mommyhis wife.I have had multiple daughters. Most have pissed me off beyond belief. I’ve went out shooting with them as well. No way in hell I’m pointing a gun at anyone unless I plan to shoot that person. That’s basic gun knowledge and safety.
You also don’t have a MAGA rotted hatebrain. These guys (MAGA zealots) are mentally ill.
absolute fucking lunacy
Thank you. I was too lazy to add it myself.
Am I understanding this correctly, that the Glock safety is on the trigger itself? That seems really fucked up. Other than meeting a technicality, it useless, no?
It means the only way for it to fire is to fully pull the trigger it can’t “go off for no reason”
The gun also had to be loaded and cocked…
Unless it’s whatever Sig was that had a recall. And the firing mechanism could still slip from certain impacts. But those don’t have anything to do with the safety; an additional safety isn’t going to fix those.
If a person is trained to use a firearm then both styles are effective, but yes a glock is more dangerous around idiots because they think it won’t fire and they have no trigger discipline.
Can anybody buy a gun like this? I appreciate laws will vary between states. If so shouldn’t there be safety measure to idiot proof killing devices?
In america yes. Its not legal to conceal and carry without a permit but buying one isn’t much trouble. We have decided guns are on the honor system.
Some states, such as mine, have done away with concealed carry permits even. I believe they call it “constitutional carry”.
Damn, thats patriotic.
I did last week, and walked out with it that day. I had 6 hours of instruction very focused on safety and discipline. Most I tried had safeties like this, not at all just glocks.
And I’ve seen multiple threads online insisting people should keep their gun loaded and chambered at home, even though they’ll likely never need it for defense, and it takes under 2 seconds to slap in a mag and cock it. And if the gun were pre-cocked, it would just chamber automatically anyway.
Yes. Yeah. Basically, yes.
I practice trigger discipline with fucking nerf blasters
I practice trigger discipline with my power tools
If I so much as want to change the bit on my drill I switch it off and disconnect the power source before getting my fingers anywhere near the service end of it. Is that excessive? Probably but I certainly think the time expense is worth taking extra steps to avoid an ER visit
So, I just bought a handgun, after 6 hours of range instruction time, and we tried a bunch of makes. Only one of them had a regular non-trigger safety.
