Handgun Midas
Member
I was at the learning institution at which I am enrolled today, talking to my instructer before class.
I had my .45 in a Galco Classic shoulder holster, concealed under a light jacket.
Apparently, sometime in the day's prior errands, the retaining strap on the holster had come undone,
and since this particular holster offers no form-fitting retention, I had an accident waiting to happen.
So we are conversing, and I am leaning over a rather low table pointing at some documents,
and my pistol slips out and clatters to the floor mid sentence.
I said,
"Yeah, my gun just fell out."
He said,
"Put that away before somebody sees it."
I quickly scooped it back under my jacket and then we went right on with our conversation.
There were other people in the room and people walking by outside, but somehow no one else saw it.
I explained later that I had a permit and there was no sign by the entrance.
He told me that there was a restriction listed in the institution's handbook.
So I was quite lucky and learned the lesson through mild embarresment, versus much stricter penelties.
It was a freebie.
The handbook, BTW, declares that only LEOs may carry firearms on campus,
unless the person has written permission from the institution's president.
It's long shot, but I believe I might send a well-worded request for permission; couldn't hurt.
