08/05/23 - Woman at the Brandon Mall in Florida injured herself while reaching into her purse searching for something. Her firearm discharged.
A truth towards Training can help a person know - How, When, Where, Why and any other reason you can think of.
Yep, I bet a holster that was made for the firearm and the carring place & position it is made for could have helped.
"Update: The woman was not injured, round went into a showcase. The woman is being searched for because she ran from the scene.
Iāve learn something here, never take the first news report as actual information.
If you throw a handgun in a bag with a bunch of other junk you should be expecting bad things to happen every time you reach into it. Especially if the handgun isnāt in a really good holster.
Hey Shamrock,
Remember the Idiot Fed (is that an Oxy-Moronā¦or just a Moron? Hmmm?)
Sorry, i digress again, as usual.
He was ādancingā (if you could call it that) out on the floor and dumbsh-- did a back flip,
Gun falls out hits the Hardwood and goes off! I donāt believe it hit anybody, but scared the
piss out of party goerāsā¦
And these brain-trusts want to take away OUR Guns ?
The world is a truly weird place !
Two thoughts: That gun didnāt go off until the idiot picked it up incorrectly and hit the trigger. When non gun owners hear that phrase āthe gun just went offā it adds to fear of the unknown.
The woman who screwed up with a gun loose in her purse, well, duh. I have one carry purse I rarely use but it does has a specific compartment, a holster and the velcro holster does stay in place when you draw. But I prefer on body carry 100%.
Wow Wandaā¦okā¦ my badddddddddddd
The gun fired after he tried to pick it up triggering the AD!
Jeez canāt even make a joke here anymore without the
correction Police hovering over every word
Mea Culpa.
I was just trying for a funny.
Iāll be over in the corner w/ my āDunceā hat on.
I do a pretty aggressive upside down shake test on my carry holsters to make sure the retention is set tight enough. I donāt think I was ever capable of a back flip even in my younger days so I wont be trying the backflip retention test any time soon.
To you FBI agents out there, when doing the apparently FBI approved backflip retention test I highly recommend doing it with an unloaded pistol and not in a public settingš«¤
Makes me wonder, what would you do?
Devils Advocate, Nobody injure, nobody know who you are.
They certainly have multiple videos of her and probably her car?
Me, Iād stay and face the music but Iām sure many people would run away.
@Don102 I was responding to the thread as a whole, not you! In general what I meant was the public uses phrases like the gun went off but as we know, that is untrue. Sorry if it came across to you in the wrong way. No harm intended.
