R.L. Stine wrote horror novels for kids

and has now apparently decided to write adult fiction.  From daughter:
We’ve also got the world’s least competent and most hypocritical child psychologist and the worst trained police officers in the history of fiction. Here’s an actual quote from the book, as a Sag Harbor police officer is describing a state police officer:
"Andy saw that he had a standard Glock .22--the policeman's favorite--in the black holster at his waist."

I posted about it somewhere, and one of the comments was really golden:
"He could see his target carried a Daisy pellet gun, so he knew this was going to be a dangerous confrontation."

This is a failure, not just of Stine, but of his editor, his publisher, and, if anyone will admit to the position now, his proofreader. Unless Stine self-published, he was not alone in his ignorance, however, his name is attached.
