Well, the federal court house in El Paso might reconsider allowing anyone from carrying there.
According to the following article, the US Deputy Marshal was holstering his pistol. Bet the holster had a retaining stratp or the Marshal had his finger in the trigger guard.

Agents accidentally shot while gun being holstered
EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Two federal agents wounded in an accidental shooting at the federal courthouse were shot when a U.S. Marshal's gun went off as he was trying to holster it, federal authorities said Tuesday.
Officials with the U.S. Marshal Service said a deputy marshal and a U.S. Border Patrol agent suffered gunshot wounds Monday morning when the marshal was trying to holster his gun after removing it from a security locker. The agents were in a secure hallway on the courthouse's third floor.
