It gets worse. Idaho passed an enhanced CHL over College Presidents objections which permits special CHL holders to carry on college campus. This professor held one of these enhanced CHL's and his gun went off in his pocket shooting himself in the foot in front of a classroom full of students. The law went into effect only in July. So we only went 35 days before a ND. Classes probably have only been in session a week.

No wonder we have trouble getting pro gun legislation passed.

Every class I make the statement that I am NO Fan of pocket carry. (My oppinion & YMMV) If you do, have a quality pocket holster that covers the trigger & nothing else in the pocket but firearm.

I tried a kevlar holster with a S&W Shield that holds it securely and completely covers the trigger. But, it does not release well and makes the draw clumsey. I need to practice more but every pair of pants has a different degree of looseness and that changes the draw. Shorts are really a problem and that is what I wanted it for. Any advice along those lines would be appreciated. Maybe that should be another post.

My main carry gun is a a Kahr PM9 and I pocket carry 95% of the time. I use the DeSantis Nemesis holster and have good luck with it. It draws easily from the holster while still covering the trigger appropriately. I mainly wear Dockers, but it also carries fine in jeans or cargo shorts pockets.
