So was this a Glock problem, or an AMMO problem?

Was Ted Kennedy driving that lawn mulcher?

In my cousins case it is. He is a minneapolis police officer and somebody drew a weapon on him. He drew his glock and pulled the trigger and *click*. nothing. Turns out the guy just had a cell phone or something. He pulled it out like a gun and pointed it towards my cousin, suicide by cop maybe?

Must not have been that guys turn to go... An incident like this would likely make me consider changing profession if I were a cop. I don't envy cops. We don't pay them enough, or appreciate them enough.

I would hope if it had turned out different, you're cousin would've been ok...He was right to draw and fire in the scenario as described. I too am curious to know if it was gun/ammo, and a more specific cause if you could find out (as my main carry guns are Glocks).
