I just received a Ruger LCR .38 as a gift and plan on pocket carrying during the hot summer months. while deciding on what pocket holster to buy, i found it very comfortable to stick in my front pocket (unloaded) without any holster around the house.
i did a little research and the consensus seems to be "it's dangerous to carry without a holster", but i'd like to know how it's unsafe? It's legal in my state to carry without a holster, I don't mind if the revolver shifts in my pocket, i can adjust easily, i don't mind clearing out pocket lint from time to time.
So if I keep nothing else in my pocket except the revolver with it's 10LB pull, how is in unsafe? I probably will eventually get a pocket holster but i'm very curious if i really NEED one for safety reasons
