The Perfect Crime?

An episode of Deadly Women did a story of a lady who shot two of her husbands in bed. Both times, she claimed that she heard a noise downstairs, went to get the gun that was under her husband's pillow, and it accidentally went off. She got away with it the first time and I started to wonder how plausible that would be as an alibi for murder. There are so many "gun nuts" in this country, many of them rich as hell. I hate guns and any evidence I can find to put more restrictions on how to get them is a good thing.

Looking it up online, the most popular gun in the US is the Glock 19. Glock claims that the 19 has three safety features in the trigger, the firing pin, and a drop safety (meaning it will not fire if dropped). It would be easy to forget the firing pin safety and you would not have to drop it. The only problem would be the trigger which would take some extra pull. The Glock trigger needs 5.5 to 6.5 lbs of force normally but it can be modded to 4 lbs.

If the culprit used an older gun without decent safety features or one that was not well maintained, it could work. The only problem is finding a gun nut who cares less about his guns. If one could pull it off, would it be the perfect crime?

Maybe...
