Local man discharges handgun at Greenwood Mall

[DadSmith]

According to my "nextdoor" app it was pocket carry and he shot himself in the leg.. YMMV

These learning opportunities usually reduces shooting one's self again by a large percentage.

yeah a gun holder. but “holder” sounds too generic. make it sound cooler, trendier... like a gun “holdster”

“hey bro, do you carry your gun in your pocket?”
“as if! no way dude, i carry it in my holdster.”

Sky's the limit with that kind of marketing genius behind it.

Well then, he's lucky not to use appendix carry in the belt!

? Been carrying AIWB for a couple of years and still have my nads.. Simple matter of training and as always keeping your finger off the trigger until you are pointed downrange..

If only there were some sort of device to contain a firearm that blocked access to the trigger. If designed properly, it could also hold the gun in a predictable position for easy and repeatable gripping to remove it from said holding device. A sheath of some sort, but for guns instead of knives.

You think someone would have invented one by now. Seems like a real market opportunity...

Theodoric of York approves this message.

A REAL "operator" would eschew such a device because they are completely unnecessary for the professional.

You probably use a holster. Vern didn't and it probably wouldn't cross his mind to use one.

Ya, but then they’re gonna make laws requiring me to have it in one... and face it, if people don’t know I have it what good is it?!

I carry my single stack appendix when I wanna deep conceal when dressing nice. Never crossed my mind to fidget with it (the gun) (the firearm gun not that gun)


But honestly, it would take a special kind of idiot to play with a gun that’s aimed directly at your nuts, and shooting them off would probably be of some benefit to society.

It’s hard to shoplift if you are not around shops

definitely the most suspicious thing about the story

 

[***Ironhead***]

If we were on our game as we should be, someone from our local pro-2A organizations should be contacting the news reporter on this.

It does us no favors to report a negligent discharge as an accident. We all look like that niave person who endangered many, along with themselves.

Needless to say, reaching out to the shooter could be a novel idea also?

Or maybe we'll just keep asking for the shooter's INGO user name?

Was my thought as well. Just more fuel for the fire!

“This is my rifle, this is my gun...” Lol

I didn’t know Plaxico Burress moved Indianapolis

Was he auditioning for a movie role?

But, but, but.. . . . . it's a GFZ!!!!

Yes! Here in Clarksville, our mall has a Texas Roadhouse in it. At any given time, there’s more people in the restaurant than in the entire rest of the mall,

So carried all day today went to Clarksville Sams Club, Bass Pro all over the area. Never touched my 1911.
Didn’t pay attention to it was there if I needed it in a leather thing attached to my belt.

I almost sure I saw you there today. Nice set-up

Maybe in one of these 'accidental'-discharge-waiting-to-happen holsters??...
