A man trying to holster his gun reportedly shot himself in the testicle Saturday afternoon, deputies said.

“He was trying to place it back in the holster and somehow hit the slide release or the safety and it actually went off,”

JHC, he pulled the trigger. That's how guns go off. Keep your fucking finger off the trigger until you're ready to pull the fucking trigger.

 

[7.62willdo]

Please god.......let there be a video, purely as an object lesson of course......

 

[candyx]

Must be a good shot to be able to hit one testicle.

If they were trying to holster it, there is a good chance (assuming striker fire and no actual manual safety (or safety not engaged)) that the trigger got snagged on part of their clothing or the cloth/leather holster wasn't the greatest and part of it bent in just a bit and that actuated the trigger when the gun was pushed in.

Another good reason not to appendix carry.

Point is the trigger NOT the 'slide' or the 'safety' fired the gun. It's a race to get it out of the holster, not in. And why we can't have nice things (at the range).

 

[Precision Underground]

Annnnd this is why I will never appendix carry ??

 

[Changed]

Imagine the poor bastard that helped him. You can't wash that off.

 

[EddieNFL]

The employee who was helping the man quickly began treating him, White said.

“He was able to stop the bleeding within less than a minute,” he said.

He would have to be a really, really good friend.


Similar incident at a local range last month. According to witnesses, the RO was on the non-dominant side of the shooter when clearing. Obviously, he did not clear and when he reholstered, put one through his thigh. I departed this range some years ago because of, IMO, lackadaisical ROs.

I always appendix carry. I like to live life on the edge! That, and I'm not very smart.

That's why I just pull my holster out and drop the Glock back in the holster for the IWB carry.

Commenting after the incident shooter stated.....

"Im taking my ball and going home!"

 

[MK20]

Appendix carry is fine.

There is no prize for fastest re holster.

What? Then why bother appendix carrying.

It sounds like a very good strategy from a safety standpoint.

Once you pull out, as they said, there is no big hurry usually putting back in, so you could pull the holster out, put the gun carefully in the holster and then situate the holster containing the gun back in your crotch area with just about no risk as the controls would be fully covered / shielded by the holster unless you have something wrong / broken on your holster.

ah, I misunderstood him... He was talking about how he reholsters when Appendix Carrying. He takes the holster off then reholsters.

Got it.

Appendix carry is the only way to carry, I can open a beer while the other dude has to clear body to shoot. Even if the gun goes off while pulling appendix to flick the gun up worst case scenario my first shot is in your nut sack.

Yes just for re-holstering. My JM holster just has a belt clip so it's really easy to pull the holster out drop it in, and put the holster back in. I have practiced re-holstering a ton with it un-loaded and have never tripped the trigger, but it just takes once sucking your shirt in there. It's a stock triggered Glock 26.

 

[Mr.Kirk]

I make my own holsters. Finally got them the way I like them, so not lately. One thing you always do is cock the empty pistol w no safety and slam it in a few times. You mold room for a trigger, but you wanna know. I’ve heard of t-shirts getting into iwb holsters and helping guys with NDs.

 

[pmclaine]

I like wearing pants that fit therefore - OWB - for me.

Just drop it in the bucket without having to use the barrel as a wedge to get the holster open again.

 

[Mike Casselton]

I currently have an appendix carry Crossbreed for my M&P compact.

Good God! If I had to carry a full size, I wouldn't be able to sit down.

That is the most uncomfortable way to carry a pistol.

Unfortunately, living in this hot assed state, wearing jeans and shoes/boots doesn't cut it.

Having shorts and t-shirts on most of the time doesn't leave many options for carry.

 

[FS1]

I carry OWB with a long t-shirt at times. I really don't care if it prints. I'm legal, and advertising my lack of victimhood.

PS I always put my thumb on the hammer when holstering, carrying a striker gun makes me uneasy. But I do at times.

Cargo shorts, J-Frame, Pocket holster - problem solved. You dont even have to wear the shirt if you choose not to.

Should you choose to wear nice lightweight nylon pants with a T shirt and cover shirt such as the fishing shirts I always see Tarpon fisherman wearing, you know that shit with vents and dries in like 2.3 seconds after wetting - Garret Industries Silent Thunder, Colt Commander, 1530 position OWB under your soft nylon shirt - problem solved.

Only prob with OWB for me is its a two shirt proposal.

T shirt base layer so there is cloth between gun and skin, cover shirt to keep ninnies from being scared and to comply with state concealed laws.

If I am wearing T-shirt only its shorts weather and the J frame is in the pocket.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Cargo shorts are okay, but I still prefer lightweight shorts.
Can't really wear a decent belt because it aggravates my neuropathy.
Two shirts sucks too.
I tend to wear dri-fit style long sleeved shirts because they protect the skin and aren't hot.
I suppose I need to make some compromises to keep the gun accessible.
I'll give the J-frame a go.

 

[W54/XM-388]

I wear Cargo shorts that probably weigh 6 pounds or so with all the stuff I have stuck in the pockets.

Besides revolver carry automatically makes you seem cooler and more capable when practiced.

G19 guys think "How does he do in 5 what takes me 16?"

Oh? I thought that bulge was something else....my bad.

 

[MtnCreek]

32 long. 6 shots.

Edit: But exposed hammer. Gotta get a thumb on the hammer to pull out of pocket.

 

[hermosabeach]

Another good reason not to appendix carry.

I saw a demo with a laser on a pistol and an open bottom holster... even with OWB carry, you still cover your body. many shots traverse the leg.. in the upper leg- out around the knee, in the upper calf and out near the ankle....

 

[Mike Casselton]

Hammerless J-frame comes out of the pocket nicely. It would also be a ton more effective than a little pocket 32 or 380.
I love me some revolvers, and actually prefer them to a Semi. The compact Smith 9mm lays much flatter against my recently acquired flab though.

I think that's why a 4-5:30 carry is better. The worst thing is you could put a furrow in your ass cheek

Everyone is free to carry the way they think best. Holstering your weapon is the most dangerous move you make in handgun manipulation, and I don't prefer to have it pointing at my junk and right femoral artery when doing it. It's like mil v moa, .45 v 9mm... to each his own.

That plus the cant on the holster.

Go you the Keto route and you can pack a 27-2 in short order.

Just be sure to buy suspenders to keep your shorts from being stripped to your ankles.

G19 guys think "How does he do in 5 what takes me 16?"

G19 guys just wonder what to shoot with the other 11.

I just need to get my lazy ass back on the road bike and that shit will be gone long before Thanksgiving.

I used to think the key to maintaining a healthy weight was a factor of less calories in than calories expended or equal calories in, equal calories out if you are maintaining.

That routine at some point always left me feeling like I was denying myself.

By cutting carbs and replacing it with fat I havent had any feelings of being deprived and I have actually increased the enjoyment of my meals.

Im not a full blown weighing shit, eating crazy stuff, ketoholic I just really work at avoiding all processed carbs while enjoying the edge fat on steak.

Physical this Monday.

18 months of Keto.

Interested to see how the blood labs come back.

I expect no problem despite violating all conventional wisdom on how we should eat.

The 1975 Senate Select Recommendations on Nutrition which we now are expected to follow had more to do with corn syrup and farm subsidies than it did about health. Americans have been dying and getting fatter ever since it was proposed.


....and after that sermon......back on topic.....

Hey guys I just want to suggest one thing about carrying a firearm........DONT SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE DICK NO MATTER WHAT GUN OR HOLSTER YOU DECIDE TO USE.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Had a discussion with Rebecca at lunch about this very thing.
Humans evolved/survived by learning to cultivate grains.
We were never built to ingest the high levels of processed grains and sugars.
Our bodies naturally convert proteins, fats, vegetables and natural sugars into energy.
Processed grains and sugars are fucking us up.
I've been weaning myself off of the shit foods, but will still give in to a bowl of icecream here and there. Coca-Cola is my downfall.

 

[Alphatreedog]

A shot like that takes balls . Or maybe someone told him to nut up . If you shoot yourself in the kids is that child abuse ?

You still get billed.... but maybe the FD will give the guy a break and just enter him as a gender neutral "Pat Doe" due to the nature of the injury.

Had a class recently and our work has appointed a guy as "the health guru" trying to get us to be healthier.

He made a great point regards carbohydrates and the way human evolution has determined how we eat them.

First it varies by location you evolved from.

An Inuit cant even spell carb while someone in a an equatorial region may have evolved fine to live off sugar cane and rice.

Temperate region people though.....

There evolution is generally based on "feast and famine".

Carbs are a 3-4 months out of the year possibility. The other 8-9 months its meat and thats it.

We took the class in early April and his point made was go into the woods outside this classroom and find an abundacne of carbs to eat.

Its not there.

Sure technology, root cellars and pickling have allowed us once settled to have a source of winter carbohydrates but its only recently that it has been processed "mainlining" carbs without fiber and hard work to balance things out.

If you switch over to fat burning you will find the energy level stays more stable through the day.

I do indulge in a treat everyone once in awhile but its infrequent and Im better to limit it.

Right now carbs make me feel like shit if I over indulge.

For treats fresh berries and home made whip cream flavored with pure vanilla can do the trick. A handful of salted mixed nuts with buttery macadamias, almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts id as good as eating a Sundae to me.

Sounds weird but once you get over the shit food its not missed so much. Sure the warm artisan bread brought to the restaurant table has its appeal but I know Im a lot better off without it.

If you can get the better half to join you in doing it its much easier. My wife is on board with me and we both eat like royalty.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Both of us actually prefer the healthier diet.
I do eat fruit and nuts for snacks.
Sometimes, the bag of chips wins out. I always feel tired after eating a lot of carbs.

Feeding three kids (two teenaged, and active boys) requires some carb fillers or we'd be eaten out of house and home.

Smoked two chickens the other day and the only thing left was two legs. They ate everything else, plus yellow rice, tortillas and some veggies.
Both boys ate popcorn within 20 minutes of dinner...

I'm gonna have to start doing more hunting so they have more meat to eat.

I'm begining to believe weaning myself off of carbs is the wrong way to go about this.
