Not on purpose of course!
I have a little story about my day that got me thinking.
It has been blazing hot in Florida (Hottest July EVER) and I have to travel up I-95 to take my son to the orthodontics.
Instead of reaching for my Shield and tucking it against my skin I decide to just pocket carry with my LCP.
I pocket carry this everyday at work and never even think about it.
Onto the story...I am sitting in the waiting room with one leg crossed playing on my cell phone. A bunch of kids and parents are there with me.
I just happen to glance down at my pocket and can see the print of the gun in the holster and I came to the realization that I have a loaded gun with one in the chamber pointed straight at a 13 year old boys head. I quickly uncrossed my legs and got him out of the line of fire.
I know, I know....the gun won't go off without pulling the trigger, but with all my training about not pointing the muzzle at anything you don't want to kill....I really don't know how to put it in words, but really, how are you supposed to follow all the fundamentals of safety ALL the time so an accident don't happen? I mean... my gun was pointed straight at this kids head for goodness sakes.
