auto pistols scare the crap out of me

I would never own anything but a revolver

I was getting rid of a pesky varmint around my house the other day and when I could not find him I went into the house and realized I had the rifle still loaded AND cocked

thank god I handle arms safely as I was trained- I was in the process of clearing it before putting it away and discovered that- (which is the point of safely clearing) it was the first time I ever caught myself locked and loaded and will hopefully be the last considering the shock it threw into me

Vanessa, I can explain. See, what happened was, I broke in trying to get to Dr. Evil, and then, all of a sudden, the Fembots came by, and smoke started to come out of their jubblies. So I thought I’d work my mojo, right? To counter their mojo. We got cross-mojo-nations, and their heads started exploding. You know, that thing. And I ended up in my knickers here, and— [exhales]

Never point the muzzle of the gun in a direction you don’t want to shoot at, even if you’re just adjusting your holster.

I looked (very carefully) at many pictures of bra holsters and couldn't find one that holds the gun in a barrel-up position.

The gun in the bra holster, that is.

I recently purchased a “Sticky” holster. It makes concealed carry more comfortable than I could have imagined.

I wonder if it was one of these?

If so, it's unfortunately named.

Glock?

I wouldn't be surprised.

All the ingredients for an unintended discharge would be there.

Light trigger, no manual safety, jiggling, pushing and pulling.

Or bodily parts.

Never stop checking your firearms. It is well worth the worry and concern to be safe for all concerned. I have a religious respect and fear of my arms and ammo and yes, the revolver is safer.

So glad your story ended well!

Cheers, Bat
