Another idiot too cheap to buy a holster.

At least the reporter stated it right, 'negligent discharge'.

Very clear article with a little bit of good advice thrown in. A breath of fresh air from the press.

Cocked, unlocked, one in the pipe and no holster?

Who recommended that to him?

It's obvious he hasn't visited the TexasCHLForum. :smash:

Or maybe he has. Probably one of those, "Will I be denied?" threads where the OP never returns.

Not to mention a belt, if he was having to pull his shorts up enough to catch the trigger and cause it to fire.

Hope he has a smooth recovery. Maybe his friends could send him a holster instead of flowers?

It's the only way some folk will learn. As long as they don't shoot anybody else, I don't fret about it.

As a matter of fact, I did. Seems O.K. for the S&W 442, which I carry every day. Doesn't completely cover the trigger guard, though. Always ready to learn; what is best for that revolver?

I think the standard advice is "something that completely covers the trigger guard". I don't of anything specific to that gun, though.

A 37 year old man wearing shorts too big to stay up and has a gun, loose in those loose shorts.

I wonder if a picture will ever come out (I doubt it). I would guess no one would be surprised if it did. Some people do indeed need protection from themselves. :smilelol5:

You forgot to mention the wife beater tee shirt.
