Okay, so here's the scenario....I come in from work, I am still wearing an off duty piece, in this case a Sig 229 IWB holster behind the hip under a long shirt. I walk up to the bar in my living room, talking to my fiancee' and begin to unload my pockets as per my routine. I grab my keys, wallet, pager and knife up on the counter. I then, as always grab my gun to put it next to all the other stuff. The holster is a soft sued gun holster, much like a sock for your foot. Not molded like you see in the sexy ads in gun rags. I grab the gun by the holster instead of the butt, actually it was kind of a mix. I usually try to pull both out at the same time. Anyway, the gun slips free of the holster and hits the carpet, hammer first barrel pointed right at my........um.... you know.
So I freeze and my fiancee' chastises me for being an idiot. I know it has a hammer block but man I felt stupid.
I forgot to handle with care. I wear one at all times except home or bed and sometimes you forget it is a loaded gun. Sheesh....now go ahead and preach me the penance chant.
All guns are loaded
Never point a gun at somthing you don't intend to shoot
yada yada yada
