Fuck me, hold tight. There’s a gun in your trousers. What’s a gun doing in your trousers? What's to stop it from blowing your bits off every time you sit down?

Hi there from !armedqweers@lemmy.blahaj.zone

A proper carry holster is designed to protect the trigger/trigger guard to prevent the pistol from firing.

[–] Sizzler 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's no holster in the picture. Clearly.

I'm on a small screen.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would assume that the safety switch helps with that

[–] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Should never rely on a safety for that, though a gun in a proper holster should be impossible to discharge.

Guns should never be tucked into a waistband without a proper holster.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Of course. But if you're the kind of person who would carry a gun in their waistband you probably have a looser definition of gun safety than most people

Protection? From who? "Ze Germans"?

okay moneybags, not everyone can afford fancu holsters

If you can afford a gun you can afford a holster
