SCHERERVILLE -- It sounds like something out of a "Police Academy" movie.

Cook County correctional officer Jermaine Bell, 36, of Lynwood, Ill., was at the Schererville Golf and Fun Center with his son late Sunday when he took out his gun and accidentally fired it into the ground.

Schererville police responded to the scene at 10:11 p.m. Bell told them he was trying to put the safety on when he accidentally fired the weapon. Bell showed police his Cook County officer's badge, and said he was carrying a Glock 7 handgun.

But Cmdr. Randy Reno of the Schererville Police Department said a Glock doesn't have an external safety switch. And a Glock 7 isn't even a real gun. It's a fictitious, porcelain gun-type fabricated for the 1990 action movie "Die Hard 2."....

Idiot, yes it is, I have two of them. AND THEY COST MORE THAN YOU MAKE IN A MONTH!

Okay John McClane... ;)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock_7
Glock 7 was a fictional porcelain gun that was spoken of in Die Hard 2: Die Harder. This gun supposedly did not set off the metal detectors in the airport in the movie and was made of pure ceramic. This is to this day impossible, because the integrity of the gun would not hold under the stress of firing and the moving parts of a gun made purely from ceramic would create far too much friction to withstand rapid movements such as discharging empty shells.

This, of course is purely assumption and it may be possible to create a ceramic gun with ceramic ammunition, but to date, there is no such thing on any records.

The weapon was mentioned under the quote by Die Hard character John McClane: That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me!...It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines...

The above quote was pure fictional and there was no such weapon in known existence at the time of the making of the movie (1990) or at 2007.

I have the newer version. They're undetectable by x-ray and by human eyes.

I think if the correctional guard displayed knowledge of firearms the Commander wouldn't of pressed charges as much.

But the guy argued stuff that was not true.

Plus he knows his Die Hard quotes. I like this Commander Randy Reno. He sounds like a sharp cookie!

Yeah I've got four of them plus the stealth AR-15.

I'd take some photographs and show them off to you guys but I looked everywhere and can't find them!

^ now that's interesting... looks like a factory mod.

It is indeed a factory mod, Glock has done a few factory changes for large police/mil special requests of things like that.

And the "it costs more than you make in a month" is the next line from Die Hard after McClane goes off about it being ceramic and undetectable. You guys fail for not picking up on that. :rolleyes:
