Apparently the Officer has not seen SIGs new statement/ press release.

This case has no merit, and I award him no points.

His retirement is about to get a lot more comfortable.

His retirement is about to get a lot more comfortable.

Unless he ends up with permanent pain, restricted movement, PTSD, etc.

Then he’s just retired, not comfortable.

Most people aren't medically comfy in old age but, $11 mil can make it so you can buy a big fishing boat and a nice house on the Puget Sound and even afford a hot, young girlfriend. That's a fair trade, I'd take it.

No, It’s not. Money doesn’t mean when you’re in pain everyday. I would always choose my health over monetary gains and possessions. These material things are sorely overrated today over the things that truly matter. Old timer wisdom

No one is suggesting anyone intentionally injure themselves for money but, if it does happen, enough money makes it easier to deal with, it also makes it easier to afford the medical procedures necessary to address the issues. Obviously, the preferred option is no pain, lot's of bread, fishing boat, nice house and hot girlfriend(s).

Injured on the job in law enforcement and documented, claim approved means the department owns that medical bill for life, so moot point. If you end up being injured, require surgery, meds and pain for life, you’re not thinking about money and young girlfriends.

Depending on your injury, you may never fish, exercise, golf, or take vacations, etc again.

Everyone thinks what they’d do with the money, in the frame of current mind at the moment with no limitations; but forget you might not be able to do much at all.

Seems like I touched a nerve with my levity, let's just drop it, OK?

lol, no I use to think exactly like your posting, just different when It hits home. Just trying to let others see both sides of it. We’re all good my man, nothing you said was wrong. It’s dropped.

All of this sounds like the trigger thingie that sits against the sear pops off of it because of 1. slide is too loose, or 2. sear wear and/or poor manufacturing, or 3. a combination of both.

I love my sigs. That being said I think I would not carry a p320 of my life depends on it. Not because I believe it’s going to fail but because I wouldn’t have confidence it. It’ll be an interesting case because what proof does he have? The Air force just recently cleared sig and so many others have as well. I’m surprised that so many people are happy to believe it’s more likely that sig is to blame then the idea that this country is antigun and sue happy. Just ask Remington. Oh and before you get self righteous and start pointing out social media as your proof, Keep in mind that this company goes back to the mid 1850s!
