We expect most “First Gear” readers are sharing our collective sigh of relief over the election results.

Look around various gun forums or talk to gun owners and there are likely going to be some people that just hate on Glocks, the Glock safety system, and any and all derivatives of them. To be sure, there are a lot of Glock-inspired or derived (or outright copied) pistols on the market. The polymer-framed striker-fired pistol format is far more popular now compared to any other firing mechanism, as double/single-action pistols are becoming increasingly rare. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
