Yeah, not the most shining moment of my life...

Before you chime in with tips on how to further avoid this mishap, I already know. This is simply for all of you to come in, point, and laugh at me. I debated with myself about posting this, but hey, I do something dumb, I deserve it. So here's the story.

I'm at Shell today buying some drinks. I have my Kimber Stainless Custom II tucked in my waistband in the small of my back. I'm wearing khaki cargo shorts. Without warning, the thing slips past my waistband and drops on the floor in front of the person waiting in line behind me. I didn't make eye contact. All I did was reach down, pick it up, and tuck it in a more secure part of my waistband for the trip back to the car. Yes, from now on it's holster carry. Just figured I deserved some ridicule. So fire away, my flame suit is on.

I'm calling my congressman right now asking for an all out gun ban...we just can't afford to have guns falling out of people's pants. Afterall, Guns are dangerous!!!


Nah, in all honesty, it the gun ok?

I used to get a lot of solicitors at my old house. I would always answer with a Glock in the back of my pants. One day I got some kids selling candy and as I opened the door that damn Glock fell out of my pants. That kid gave me the shortest sales pitch Ive ever heard and took off, lol. On the plus side I didnt get near as many solicitors after that

Gun's fine. It landed on the rug they put in front of the counter.

I bet no one on here could come up with something that you haven't said to yourself already.......probably several times.
No one got hurt, guns fine, lesson learned.

Best comment I've ever heard of is to see it skitter across the floor and loudly sigh, "Dang, I've been trying to teach it not to DO that!" and calmly reach down as you did to pick it back up.

Seriously, though... no flame here. You're already kicking yourself in the posterior enough. Us dogpiling on you isn't going to help anything. Live and learn.

Blessings,
Bill

Thanks for posting this. We learn by experience. You have demonstrated why a quality holster and belt are so important.

Thanks Evan. Answer your phone more often than never. =P

I'm at work. Everything (including surfing INGO) gets interrupted by people wanting shampoo, towels, and wake-up calls . . .

Call me at 11:05pm.

Just kidding. Don't beat yourself up to much, it happens to the best of us one time or another. Lessons learned.

Holsters are for losers anyway. Duct tape that thing to your chest.

If my gun fell out of my pants and onto the floor I would be very sad.
