Jede Waffe ist anders. Jede Waffe hat den Sicherungshebel wo anders. Daher kann man nicht davon ausgehen, dass jemand der eine Taurus besitzt, sich mit einer Glock auskennt.
Aber eines noch zum Schluss: Jeder, der eine Waffe in die Hand nimmt, muss sie so handhaben, als ob sie geladen wäre. Sicherheit ist hier oberstes Gebot, alles andere ist sträflicher Leichtsinn.
Das ist richtig
@Casa_blancaWaffenkenner wissen das und handhaben daher jede Waffe, mit der sie nicht vertraut sind, besonders vorsichtig. Nicht so Oscar Pistorius, der Waffenbesitzer, Waffenfan, Waffensammler ist - also Waffenkenner ist. Er ist in einer Gesellschaft groß geworden, wo es völlig normal ist, Waffen aller Art zu besitzen. OPs Vater berichtete in einem Interview, er und seine Familie seien besonders gut mit Waffen ausgestattet - er, der Großvater und der Onkel von OP besäßen zusammen 55 Waffen.
2012 hatte er sich von dem Waffenexperten Sean Rens beraten lassen, welche Waffen er sich für seine Sammlung zulegen soll. Daher muss man davon ausgehen, dass Oscar sich sicherlich sehr genau über die verschieden Waffen-Typen und deren Handhabung sachkundig gemacht hat, um die für ihn geeigneten Waffen rauszupicken. Zudem trainierte er regelmäßig auf dem Schießstand, wo er sich mit den ebenfalls dort trainierenden Waffenbesitzern über Waffen im Allgemeinen und im Besonderen austauschen konnte.
Und da greift er sich also mitten in einem gut besuchten Restaurant diese besagte „Glock“ seines Freundes und fummelt unter dem Tisch daran herum, so dass sich ein Schuss löst. Man stelle sich vor, er hätte sie nur ein klein wenig anders gehalten und daher jemanden getroffen! Ja, da sollte dann Oscars Freund den Kopf dafür hinhalten.
Oscar Pistorius told a friend to take the blame for him accidentally firing a pistol under the table in a packed Johannesburg restaurant in January 2013, a month before he killed his girlfriend
Passend zu diesem Thema ist vor allem die Gerichtsverhandlung vom 17.März 2014
Oscar Pistorius knew that shooting an intruder was illegal and even filled out a questionnaire about the acceptable use of a firearm, the court in Pretoria has heard.
Reading out two of the questions on the form, Mr Rens began: "When the burglars who are stealing your hi-fi become aware of your presence they turn and order you to go away or they will kill you, you are behind a security gate 10 metres away. Can you discharge a fire arm at them because you fear for your life?"
Gerri Nel, Prosecutor asked: "The accused answered?"
Rens: "No, my lady."
The documents were read out in court as part of the testimony of Sean Rens, manager of the International Firearm Training Academy in Walkerville town. He was giving evidence on day 11 of Oscar Pistorius' trial Sean Rens also said he had many conversations about firearms with Pistorius.
He said the double-amputee runner had "a great love and enthusiasm" for guns.
Rens said he met Pistorius in 2012 and trained in a gun range with him, and that Pistorius was seeking to collect guns
Rens said he was introduced to Pistorius in May 2012, a few months before the runner made history by competing at the London Olympics. Pistorius wanted Rens to find a "specific" gun for him,

Rens testified, a Smith & Wesson 500 revolver handgun.
Rens also listed five other guns Pistorius was hoping to procure under a collector's license. They were a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, the civilian version of a Vector .223-caliber assault rifle, and three shotguns: A Mossberg shotgun, a Maverick shotgun and a Winchester shotgun.

That total price came to nearly $5,000 and Pistorius had already paid about $4,500 of the bill,
Pistorius applied to the South African police's National Firearms Centre for licenses to own these guns on Jan. 22, 2013, according to the center's records, just three weeks before he shot dead Steenkamp in his home using his 9 mm Parabellum pistol, the only gun he was licensed to have at the time, for self-defense.
Pistorius' applications for licenses for the other six guns were not processed and were instead "sent back" four days after he killed Steenkamp, officials at the South African police's National Firearms Center told The Associated Press last year.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned Rens on Pistorius' firearm training. He asked the dealer to describe how Pistorius was quizzed on how to handle a firearm in various scenarios, for example when two unidentified men approach the house of a gun owner; then when they break into the house, begin to steal belongings and order the gun owner to leave; and if the men threaten to kill the gun owner, who is behind a security gate in the house.
In each case, Rens said, Pistorius was asked if it was OK to fire at the men and Pistorius correctly answered "No." Pistorius correctly noted he was entitled to shoot at them only if they advanced on him with a gun, according to Rens.
Nel was trying to show that Pistorius knowingly flouted the regulations when he shot Steenkamp. Pistorius says he fired because he thought he was under threat.
