Old article but interesting and hopefully not a double post.

The theory offered imo is possible but i remain skeptical.

I'd consider him very lucky. The ass cheek is probably where I'd choose to get a bullet pass through my body if It had to happen. He'll get to live life normally and even with a gnarly scar, it's on his ass cheek so not a big deal. again, a lucky SOB.

I like CCW and don't like it. Laws sort of box us in. I like open carry in that better holsters could be used. Open carry on the ying-yang could invite neurotic and unnecessary attention.

I'm carrying this week in Michigan but in a utility bag. Wish it was on my person but in Tshirt and shorts my S&W Shield still bulges. I'm mostly concerned about encounters on the road to/from Buffalo after hours and not daylight work hours. Shield on the motel nightstand. In a pinch the wife would have no problem operating the handgun.

In any event holster shopping is difficult, don't want a cap in my ass.

Thats why I wont use anything but molded leather or kydex (ect) holsters. I'm very paranoid bout trigger guard security. Trigger guard holster have some ultility here.

Years ago a friend of former friend of mine was taking a Chuck Taylor defensive pistol class. The guy next to him drew his weapon but must have had his finger in the trigger guard. When the pistol fired everybody stopped and waited to see who it was. Same type of wound the guy in this link had. I wondered why they were doing these rapid draw drills with loaded weapons?

Thought it was gonna be MUCH worse. He got off lucky considering he shot himself. Right through the fat by the look of it, sore as hell for a while he won't even notice it once it heals.

I find pain and embarrassment to be a very good way to learn a lesson. And I think this guy has learned his lesson. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
