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.

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.

You forgot to mention the wife beater tee shirt.
