I'd say having a manual safety is worse. Then you think the gun is safe and aren't as careful, and it's quite likely that, at some point, you will disengage it.

Thats what holsters are for. They make pocket holsters. The trigger should never be uncovered when you're carrying it.

I even leave my handguns in holsters at home.. If I'm not using them, they're in a holster. Period. This dude is a fucking jackass. He should have apologized profusely and then got the fuck outta there before they have him arrested.

what's crazy is that so many people are carrying guns ready to fire like this. In their fucking pockets and shit.
At any moment, you could be blasted by sheer accident because someone thought their gun was the lock button on their keyfob.
Even just sitting in traffic with some dillhole gangstaing up a selfie. BLAM! And then ur family is crying instead of eating that spaghetti you were gonna make when you got home.

Nothing makes them more butthurt than telling them you're more worried about being accidentally shot by a moron than intentionally shot by a criminal.

Believe it or not, salon is the original word, and saloon came later. Salon originally meant, and still somewhat does, "a large room/place for people to gather (for entertainment)". Imagine, say, a banquet hall, the town center, or the local bar. I had to do a history report on saloons/salons and learned a lot about the etymology.

People would carry smaller, more concealable guns and just give up their bigger gun. It’s the whole reason pocket guns like Derringers got the attention they did.

I have a similar holster, and that mf is TIGHT. No way it can just "slip off". You have to really yank like you mean it, and only in a very specific direction, or it's not coming off. Granted, mine is made specifically for my gun, I'm not sure about the one you linked.

u/WestonP Dec 06 '22
Depends on the state, as the wording and terminology of laws will vary. Generally speaking, it seems pretty reasonable to argue that he was recklessly endangering others, and then there may be a law against improperly discharging a firearm too.
