As raised a few times already, how do you pull the trigger on a pistol that's holstered? A holster would normally protect the trigger and prevent an inadvertent shot, even if the safety was accidently left off. Obviously something wrong with the way the article was written. I suspect the gun was not holstered, but just loose in his pocket.
What a dummy for fleeing the scene! If he had just stayed put, he would be in a lot less trouble and maybe even got to keep his permit. After fleeing, my bet he is no longer a proper person.
Well, I saw a young guy at ACE with a weapon holstered in a IWB type. Problem was, he had his shirt tail stuck in the holster with the weapon.
that is a problem waiting to happen.
