Man Shoots Himself -- Why to Use A Holster

[los]

...It's not in his pocket, it's in his waistband held by a clipdraw. That loop must hook around... umm... something close? Belt?

Yahtzee..!

He just put some lead in his pencil, after all.....

OK, guys, the silliness factor has been creeping up, and nothing will get this thread closed faster than a creeping silliness factor.

That has got to be....unpleasant.

If I am going to stick a pistol in my waistband, and I have done so on several occasions, I put it in the back.

FYI - only reason I have done this is b/c I was at backyard range w/no table and I really didn't wanna set a $3000 1911 that wasn't mine on the ground or in a pocket as I had stuff in them. Jeans were a bit on the snug side too, so that helped.

Edited for clarification - I usually use a holster

This is exactly the reason we use holsters and don't carry "Mexican" style. If this doesn't make believers out of you, then nothing will. This guy may be out of the gene pool. No word on whether the girlfriend will want to stick around given the guy's possible future disability.

He can't cut the mustard but maybe she'll let him lick the jar.

I think this might be what Mike meant by silliness....

But....that's a pretty good one

Really, if anyone here ever does this (jam a pistol into his waistband), I'd love to hear about it.

I'm sure many people do.

"I think this might be what Mike meant by silliness...."

That's exactly what I mean.

Guess what?

Closed.
