Gun holsters recalled

Associated Press

The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the following recall Tuesday:

_About 8,000 Kydex Holsters with Thumb Break for Glock model handguns by Michaels of Oregon Co., because the retention strap can slip out of position and cause the firearm to unexpectedly discharge while being reholstered. The firm has received three reports of unexpected discharges, including one involving a law enforcement officer shot in the leg while reholstering his gun. Uncle Mike's and Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement catalogs and sporting goods and gun supply stores nationwide sold the holsters from January to October 2002. For more information, call Michaels of Oregon at 800-471-4999 or visit http://www.michaelsoforegon.com or http://www.cpsc.gov.

If ya ask me (which ya didn't), it should be the Glocks that should be recalled, not the holsters. Those dang trigger safeties are dangerous.
