Not really a question but more of a story...

Yesterday my son (1.5 years) and I were playing the the back yard (which is 100% dirt). Of course, we both got extremely dusty. I was planning on taking him into the shower with me, but then it hit me to run through the sprinkler with him (in the front yard).

I stripped him down to a diaper and let him loose. Then I pulled my shirt off when I remembered that I was pocket-carrying my Kel-Tec P-32. Obviously, I couldn't just leave him there and go inside to stow it, nor did I want to run though the sprinkler with it. Nor did I want to grab a now-drenched toddler and carry him inside with me. To make things worse, my two neighbors were chatting on the adjacent porch while watching my son trapse through the water.

I grabbed a hold of the pistol and holster and discretely wrapped it up in my shirt. I put the shirt and pistol on my porch and ran through a couple of times. After he was done, I dried him off and then headed upstairs with my shirt to get some clean clothes.

I guess I could have left it in my pocket, but I didn't want to soak my pistol and holster and have to clean/dry them later. Next time I will think about it before I get the water going.

The big question is, "What are the chances that a third person may have picked up the shirt and found the gun while you were playing?"

I would have just soaked it in the sprinkler and cleaned it right after.

If my guns are not under my direct control, they are locked up.

If my guns are not under my direct control, they are locked up.

I think you're right. I might make an exception in the case outlined above if I were close to the firearm and it seemed highly unlikely anyone would intrude—but staying in control of one's gun is an integral part of carrying safely.

Sounds like a good call.
