Has anyone been involved in a frontal collision car wreck while carrying a concealed handgun in the appendix, or other front-carry position? Did the handgun cause significant injury (i.e. more severe than a handgun-shaped bruise) which wouldn't have happened if the gun had been in a different location? What was the model of the handgun?
Medical professionals, would you say that a compact handgun (MK40 in my case) in between the stomach and the belt has the potential to greatly increase injury in a frontal collision?
It seems to me like the worst injuries would be the result of the seatbelt causing the butt of the gun to jam into the stomach, which could have pretty ugly results. But I'll wait for a more qualified opinion.
