Heard it on the news this morning: "Shooting on Indiana college campus. One injured."

Turns out to be a ND. Took about 2 paragraphs to get to that little tidbit.

I used to live in Cromwell Hall. That makes me more involved in this situation, right?

Huh, not enough detail to make any serious conclusion... so I will just claim Glock leg.

If only they would invent something like a holster to protect the trigger but it would fit in a pocket instead.

Is this where I say, "told you so"?

Ah, the many victories of pocket carry.

In true INGO fashion, I'm gonna have to know if a holster was involved, and what gun....I'll PM him if someone knows his username.

A non-student...plenty of information was not available in that note of an article. Incidents like this can be informative and learning experiences if they put enough info in the article to be worthwhile. But that would presuppose that a reporter would be educated enough on the topic to ask relevant questions.

If you rearrange the letters in "ISU" you get the letters of my alma mater. That means we're practically related. I think. Maybe.

I spent the night there for my orientation, then [STRIKE]got drunk[/STRIKE] hung out there a few times with friends who did live there. Is that close enough?

Title should be, man fires gun into pocket.

Guns generally do not fire on their own...

He used the qualifier generally. Never said it couldn't happen but usually there is an outside force acting upon the weapon that discharges it. Yes I have read about you and a certain shotgun.

Oh, pocket carry, will your wonders ever cease?

I'll be there tomorrow for a campus visit with my daughter. Carried all over another local campus here in Central Indiana today and managed not to shoot myself or anyone else.
Some folks just have to make things harder for the rest of us.

I got one of the campus announcement emails in last night (I think they sent 3) describing what unfolded. The second one of a self inflicting gun wound to his right leg told me most of what I needed to know. 28 year old non-student. Just now hearing for sure it was pocket carry though :rolleyes:

Ingo member, possibly?

It's time for somebody to fess up...

Waiting...

Still waiting...............

So, this thread taught me that KF pocket carries a shotgun with a forward assist.

The fact that he's able to conceal it really impresses me!

Edit: Even after a pat-down!
