"tx" my friend...

Let me (professional) handle the sarcasm and comedy/dry humor, ok?

It takes years of dedication and hard work to master the art...

I think you tried much too hard...

Both scenarios are more plausible than shooting oneself in the chest while unholstering.

And you say that you assume nothing? :lol: :smile:
Lets take a hard long look at the word "assume"...

Lets break it down... :lol:

Is that what the police report said or are those words your own personal assesment of the circumstances of the tragedy?
It is a fact that guns don't "go off" without some outside intervention like PRESSING THE TRIGGER, nor ar they evil objects capable of causing death and destruction all by themsleves; thereby, being evil and dangerous in and of themselves as the media wants people to believe.

The media loves to paint firearms as they did in this piece. They never report that the person had to actually press the trigger to make the gun fire.

In this case I see 2 of the 4 Cardinal Safety rules violated.
We assume and discuss these types of obvious ommissions from the media all the time...Its sad when the causes are so obvious...

But in this case most of these types of un-necessary, and tragic, incidents need to be tucked away in the knowledge locker between yer ears, and kept mindful whenever we handle the things...

I have noticed though that some holster manufacturers have created those "indexing" features into ther designs...And that some firearms manufacturers are doing the same on their frames...

For me keeping that finger out and off the trigger has become second nature, and is pretty much not even an afterthought, that it's so automatic...

Its tragic all the same though for this guy...
