He knows.This is the only story I have had the chance to read so far. I loved it, great start to the book and the build up is so great, brings me back to my own childhood, going places you shouldn't and exploring things just like this.
I have one problem with this story, its not a big deal really but actually made me stop reading and wonder as to the reason, if it was on purpose or a mistake. When the officer approaches the car, Tom I believe his name is, it says that he takes the safety off of his Glock. Well, I know that King goes out of his way to do his research and contact specialist in certain fields to help him with accuracy's in his book. Anyone slightly familiar with firearms can tell you that Glocks do not have a "safety" and certainly not in the traditional sense that It can be "switched off".
Now I cant think that I was the only one that noticed this. So I began to wonder, knowing Kings political stances and its no secret where he leans and his thoughts on guns and the related issues, so was this an intended "mistake"?
Is there an editor that just made a mistake?
I guess we will never know the real answer unless someone ask Stephen Himself, but I was very curious about this obvious mistake and what you guys on the board thought about it or even noticed it.
