WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — A hiker on Blewett Pass shot himself in the butt when he put a handgun in his back pocket. The Chelan County sheriff’s office said the 52-year-old Snohomish man had moved his .40-caliber handgun from its holster to his back pocket Saturday to see if that position would be more comfortable.
So no…. I reckon it wasn’t more comfortable back there.
Let’s see here….
- Proper holsters are the better way to carry your gun.
- If you need to experiment with fit and feel, unload the gun first.
- When figuring out a holster’s comfort, you should work with an unloaded gun… and figure it out before you go into the field.
- Once your (loaded) gun is in the holster, LEAVE IT ALONE.
