Says it was in a holster
And fox news says nothing about a holster. So ask yourself IF the gun was holstered HOW his finger touched the trigger when he was reaching for his wallet. The bullet grazed his leg and then hit the floor. Sounds like he had it in his pocket and if it was in a holster; what kind allows easy trigger access like that?
and if, as story above said, IWB, holstered, putting hand in pocket to get a wallet in a pocket ..?

perhaps 3:00 is a better position than back pocket/5:00-ish

still it's hard to imagine kydex or leather or even a nylon holster allowing a trigger pull through the holster itself and through the pants if properly holstered ...

yes it does
reached into his pocket to get his wallet.
Springfield .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol. It was holstered inside his pants
Sounds like a really unfortunate sequence of events occurred; glad no one was injured really badly.

Video showed police checking what looked like a full size Glock. Bullet grazed his hip and then ricocheted off the floor sending shrapnel and concrete into a mother and daughter.
it's one of those .40 caliber ones according to one news station.


As "constitution minded" as I am, I'm almost convinced that reading this forum or questions about equipment should be a licensing requirement if not a continuing education requirement.

Tip don't do a Wally Walk till you have a holster and a gun belt.
