1. Carry in a holster and with a belt that together provide a solid platform for your firearm so that you don't have to adjust your gun in public. If you carry in a pocket, use a pocket holster that holds the gun securely in the pocket so it doesn't shift around. This will keep you from having to adjust it and it will also keep it positioned so you don't have to fish around for it if you need it.
2. Carry a firearm that is safe and will not fire unless the trigger is pulled and carry it in a holster that covers the trigger and thus prevents it from being fired while holstered.
3. Try your system out at home with an unloaded gun to make sure that everything works as intended.
Unintentionally discharging a firearm in public is not just embarrassing, it's also probably illegal. It is also potentially deadly for others or for the person carrying the gun depending on where the muzzle is pointed.
From the article--a quote by local police: "Instances like this are unacceptable and we expect more from those who choose to carry firearms."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
