Social Security Special Agent Sues Smith & Wesson, Holster Maker After Shooting Himself - The Truth About Guns
(Attorney Thomas) White said Taylor was preparing to be tested on his backup weapon, a 9 mm Smith & Wesson. He took the gun out of its holster, took the safety off, chambered a round and put it back in the holster.
