Ouch: Man Shoots Himself Below The Belt

[Alexx1401]

Oh man, I saw this link and just had to revive this post. I swear I'm not trying to start a war with you, but...here is a story about a "trained" dude that totally got shot in his leg even though he was carrying strong side OWB. I agree that AIWB he would have gotten shot as well, but the point I want to make is that strong side OWB still points the gun at your body.

If you carry a loaded gun there is no way to do so and never have it pointed at the "wrong place". Some take this to extremes. I carry normally a couple ways. Shoulder rig, horizontal. So if anyone is standing behind me it is pointed at them. I often carry on a belt pointed down. I live in a 2 story home. So when I am upstairs the gun in pointed at the people below me. I do have faith the the guns I carry and the mode of carry. Again everyone has to decide what will work for them. The Trooper who did this it looks like a poor holster choice that it allowed something to get between the trigger and the holster.

Very true. Perhaps I was too harsh. I should give leadcounsel a more charitable interpretation of his actions.

The cynic in me wants to quibble with the notion that gun laws are aimed at criminals.

This is a great statement - I'm going to copy and reuse it if I may. It speaks volumes of truth in a not too subtle manner.
