Holstered AIWB discharge caught on video

[Kirk Freeman]

Yep, me too. I only carry in “condition -2” (one in the pipe, gun in the hand, finger on the trigger, with all the ore-travel taken up).

People shoot themselves carrying in Position Cul. Denial will not help.

What we can do is educate.

This is one of the reasons I like the trigger guard paddle releases.

Sacrilege! You aren't allowed to prefer it for logical reasons because 'Merica.

After shooting off my left testicle I stopped carrying a Glock. After the right I quit carrying aiwb. If only I checked here first

Pfft. We all know that if a person does something for 20 or 30 years it is safe. What more proof would we possibly need?

This is why i will never ever ever ever appendix carry. better to shoot yourself in the buttocks than your groin.

Well, if yer gonna shoot your self anyway, he’s not wrong.

I sit down a lot more than I use my .... well, you get the idea.

The reality is, if you have more than a room temperature IQ, and just a tiny bit of common sense, AIWB will never be a problem. Irrational fear of something is silly.

Rule: don't point it at something that you shouldn't point it at.

Same for the pistol.

Into the sky? I used to think that wa a safe direction, but as I've aged...

One of my favorite punch lines, "Eve, you should stand back, I'm not sure how big this is going to get."

You can't blame the gun, or the holster. When putting a gun into a kydex holster, you should hear a click when it hits retention, the audio gave no click. His undershirt got into the hoster and pressed the trigger.

Looks to me like his t-shirt was completely out of the way.

 

[ogtruckin]

anytime I carry appendix I'm always very careful about holstering my weapon. probably should be no matter how I carry but I'm definitely more senti e about that region.

I've started holding the hammer back with my thumb when I holster (SAO gun). When I carried a DA/SA, I started holding the hammer down with my thumb when I holstered.

 

[Hookeye]

Never held the hammer back when holstering SAO gun.
Thumb safety on, put it in holster (OWB).
30 yrs of no big deal.

Guy I shoot with on here carries AIWB. He watches the gun go in every time he re-holsters. When I was carrying that way I tried, but I couldn't see the holster because of my barley pop belly.

I am not shy though, so pulling my shirt (and jacket if needed) way up didn't bother me. Maybe that is why I don't have anyone ask to go to the range with me anymore.

 

[Bigtanker]

So did any more details ever come out about this? Like exactly what caused this and how the guy came out of it?
