I can understand how it happens but, it shouldn’t.
I have gone places where I had to change clothes, for instance the golf course. If you take a shower at a public or even private facility what to do with your gun. I always find a pocket big enough to hold my weapon, stuff it in there and lock the locker until I change back into my street clothes.
Some say not to carry on the course that it disrupts the swing, ok it disrupts my swing, bfd. My swing is nothing to brag about anyway. If it weren’t for the social aspect of golf I wouldn’t play anyway.
I have never had a problem. I have however left my weapon on the bed stand or dresser while changing at home and not realized it until sometime later noticed I didn’t have my weapon, scary, I have a bunch of grandkids.
While these old people didn’t cause any problem the potential was certainly there. They need a refresher course about gun handling.
I am one of the “old people”, as a group I think old people should all be armed all the time.
When I can’t reliably hang onto my carry piece, I think it just migh be time to hang it up.
I agree. We are human, we make mistakes. Mistakes with a firearm are generally serious and should be extremely rare. So rare that when something like this happens it is noteworthy enough to end up in the news and discussed here on FR. Hmm, did I just come full circle?

Well you can always shoot your balls and/or clubs.
