I'm not picking on you, just piggy backing off your comment. It just pisses me off to no end that they are constantly being bashed for everything they do. They can't even make a legit arrest of a dangerous criminal without getting a ration of s......it's like we live in Bizzarro world or something...
I've only met awesome cops and I'm sure most are great my friends on the other hand had terrible experiences. Yeah it's weird when people say stupid things like to the police. Makes me quite upset! Bad cops are definitely a minority

They're phenomenal guns, far as I'm concerned.
Exactly.
I've been known to put bring hell to whatever I own, whether it be my Glock or my jeep. Lol my Glock is one loyal piece of machinery. I carry it wherever I can and I never even have the thought cross my mind that it might jam on me. It's definitely the most reliable gun that I own.

Left in the rain? Doesn't sound safe.

Agreed. Obviously we don't have the whole story, but that sounds a lot like leaving a gun unsupervised where someone who shouldn't have access to it might find it. Committing irresponsible (and possibly illegal, depending on your local laws) acts only serves to make all gun owners look bad.

Responding to the original intent of the thread...
Springfield M-1A
Springfield XDS .45
Springfiled 1911 .45
S&W AR-15 .308
HK USP compact 9mm
Walther P99 .40
Walther PPK .380
Walther PP .32
Ruger Super Redhawk .44 mag (yes the 9.5 inch barrel one)
Benelli M-2 semi-auto
Benelli R-1 .270 WSM (getting rid of this, it hurts me)
Mossberg 12ga
Generic .22LR (with a Leupold scope, )
1917 Enfield MkIII .303 British
The Benelli's and the Ruger are mine, the rest are the hubby's (although I've pretty much commandeered the little Walther PP). He CC's most of the smaller handguns, but usually the PPK or the XDS, I do not usually carry (although in AZ pretty much everyone does, since we don't even have to do CCW here). However I open carry sometimes when out hiking, especially in remote areas. We have a serious problem drug traffickers here in the desert, they're typically not friendly people.
The M-1A, the AR, the XDs, and the Enfield were all things I got him for various birthdays and christmases, he's easy to shop for.

One thing to keep in mind for glock users/fans/owners; Most police personnel are switching over to the M92SF or variations of it due to the glock having to many misfires and friendly fires. Compact, reliable but also trigger happy it seems from the numbers.

I would imagine that the VAST majority of negligent discharges with Glocks are due to fingers on triggers when they shouldn't be. That and the whole "don't point it at anything you're not willing to destroy" bit. Bad gunhandling and/or ignoring safety rules leads to unintended loud noises, and those come with consequences. This is not specific to Glocks; they just happen to have a smaller margin for error than a DA/SA gun like the Beretta you mention. S&W M&P pistols have the exact same shortcoming, as do the Walther PPQ, the Caracal, and many, many others.
Switching away from Glocks in order to "fix" this problem is really just a band-aid for a bad training culture within an organization. People should be training to handle their gun correctly, be it a Glock or anything else, and that means finger off the trigger until you intend to shoot, regardless of whether it's striker fired like a Glock or M&P, DA/SA like the Beretta, manual safety like a 1911, or something funky like an HK P7 (technically striker fired, but the safety system is a very novel design).
All of the above should be read with the understanding that I have no horse in the race - I don't own a Glock and am not a fanboy, but that doesn't mean I don't respect them for what they are.
On a separate note, "misfire" is a general term used to categorize many types of ammunition failure (failure to fire, squib, hangfire, etc), and has nothing to do with accidental or negligent discharge, which is what you seem to be using it for.
