Man killed by his own concealed weapon

Once again, someone killed because they were carrying without a holster. Sigh.......

That is sad. I wish the sheriff would have said "all guns" instead of "such guns" when commenting on using a holster.

I only carry guns with a frame mounted safety

Sad but, apparently the permit doesn't provide the necessary intelligence.

Don't use a leather holster with a GLOCK

A glock is not a weapon to carry without a holster ...i never carry mine chambered without level 2 retention and a holster....i will pocket carry a g26 but israeli style with nothing in the chamber...every gun needs a holster imo

No worries there, 1911 guy here.

It really is a sad situation. I feel for the guy's family, having to witness that. I cannot understand why anyone would carry without a holster. Even a $10 clip on holster will provide protection against things like this.

Why in the hell would you spend the money on a quality firearm and not put out the $50 to $100 more to buy a quality holster to go with it?

Tragic and unneeded loss of life here because of abject stupidity.
I feel for the family and my prayers are with them.

A leather holster is just fine for a Glock, or any other striker fire handgun, as long as it's a GOOD leather holster, in GOOD condition. Like anything else, it NEEDS to be cared for and checked for wear.

IWB leather holsters should ALWAYS have re-enforced openings, IMO.

Forwarded to my kids as a reminder to not keep a round chambered in their Glocks!

 

[Yup!]

Better yet, have them sell them

I just started carrying, had a Kahr CM9. I just sold it to go with a BG380 for the manual safety. I had the Kahr in an IWB holster, but for some reason it always concerned me that it didn't have a safety. To each their own. This is tragic for the family involved, mostly because it could have been prevented.

 

[Yup!]

I don't know my galco holsters, but this one doesn't appear to cover the trigger completely. Even if it were new, it looks like the trigger might have been exposed.

 

[gunman41mag]

I have plenty of GLOCKs but I don't carry them, cause they don't have a safety

 

[rw496]

That's real sad. It is easy to get too familiar with firearms and forget to respect how lethal they are.

I said a GOOD holster that is in good condition. He had a cheap Galco that was worn. Just proves my point. And IWB holsters need to have a RE-ENFORCED opening, IMO.

I carry my MP all the time that has no safety, with no worries about a AD/ND. But then, I have a very good holster for it.

Agreed...and it was worn to the point that the holster was creasing and bending (which cheap leather holsters will do).
