    Read about this years ago. This is the only accidental discharge I’ve heard about. Worn leather holster pulls the trigger. In fairness, an argument can be made that using a worn/flexible holster was negligence.

      That is the correct argument. This isn’t an accident, this is pure negligence.

      I like the documentation in that article.

      The photo they show of the holster makes it very clear that this is negligence, though. there’s simply no question about that. as a gun owner you are expected to be smart enough to realize that your holster must not deform in this manner, especially with that model of gun

      also, personal note: fuck that guy for wearing this into a cafe
