No, but if the shot was at the correct angle, then he at least won't be reproducing stupid.

With apologies to Johnny Cash:
Don't take your guns to Walmart in your sweats son
Leave your guns at home
Don't take your guns to Walmart in your sweats
Don't take your guns to Walmart in your sweats son
Leave your guns at home
Don't take your guns to Walmart in your sweats
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I think that was his problem not holster that covered the trigger. Felony/Mexican carry.TreyHouston wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 6:14 pm How do you carry a gun holster firearm in the front of sweatpants? How is this even possible??

Re: Man Shoots Himself And Faces Criminal Charges
The man was shot in the groin and they are going to file charges. That's ridiculous. I could see it if he shot someone else, but I think he has been penalized enough.

Maybe there’s a new category for the Darwin Award.
They don’t kill themselves, but are unable to reproduce, thus removing themselves from the gene pool.

Re: Man Shoots Himself And Faces Criminal Charges
IIRC, isn't this what the athlete <Plaxico Burress? sp?> did in NYC?
He had moved to either NJ or NYC and brought a Glock to a nightclub, Mexican carried, in his sweatpants waistband.
When the gun was slipping down away from his waistband, he tried to snag it, and shot himself.
Correct me if I didn't quite get this recalled correctly.
