Otherwise, we see headlines like this one.
SPARKS, Nev. – Police say a man accidentally shot himself in the buttocks at a Nevada movie theatre during a showing of “The Bourne Legacy.”
Police in Sparks, Nev., say the 56-year-old man’s injuries are not life-threatening and no others were hurt.
Authorities say the man had a permit to carry a concealed firearm. The man told officers the gun fell from his pocket Tuesday night as he was adjusting himself in the seat and that it discharged when it dropped to the floor.
Pocket carry without a holster is a bad idea! Especially if your carry gun isn’t one designed to be drop-safe (and even with a good holster, you should upgrade to a gun that is drop-safe, because stuff happens).
Spending a mere $13 could have been enough to prevent this headline. This guy is lucky that his negligence didn’t kill anyone.
Don’t be That Guy. Use a holster!

/ August 15, 2012Sparks is just down the road from Reno where we have the Rendezvous – but my understanding (reading Girls ❤ Guns) is that it’s not real easy to get a CCW in Nevada – still a LOT easier than CA…
But even I who can’t carry have holsters!
