I had an incident today, of all places the gun range!!
I took my daughter and her boyfriend to shoot. He had never fired a weapon before.
I was pocket carrying my Ruger LCP in a pocket holster, right front pocket.
The boyfriend was sitting at the bench with my AK. I was totally focused on him as he loaded three rounds into the AK mag, inserted into the rifle, released the safety charged the bolt and prepared to fire.
I was TOTALLY focused on the situation, standing close to him but behind the red line when ----
I feel something move in my right pocket!
Shocked!
My daughter wanted my cel phone, reached in and grabbed the LCP, had it out of the holster ( halfway or more ) before I could react. " What's this!" she says.
I could not believe it!
I was upset and told her so.
The pistol very well could have gone off. I admit I am not comfortable with a round in the chamber, fortunately in this case!
In the past, my wife has gone into my pocket unannounced for something, car keys, cel phone. That was a first for my daughter ugh!!!!
Something to think about.
For the record - I would never think about going in some one else's pocket. I carry nothing in the right front pocket but the LCP.
