According to police, a man in his 50s or 60s was walking to a nearby dumpster while carrying both his trash and a gun. That’s when, police say, the man slipped in a wet area and somehow the gun went off, wounding him the chest

Police said the man, however, continued to walk down the hill to the dumpster where he was later found. He was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where he later died.
SAPD said investigators found a gun near the trash bags.

What’s wrong with an ankle holster? Was it a .44 magnum? Like the condoms I wear?

Re “… somehow the gun went off…”

Probably because “somehow” he had his finger inside the trigger guard… my guess is that he was carrying it in his hand along with the trash bags

I never go anywhere without a firearm on my hip, and it is usually holstered. That includes taking out the trash, mowing the lawn and the yard…
