Not Texas..thankfully.
At least the owner/CCW holder wasn't badly hurt. Does any one else read this as being more than a little fishy?

Two major mistakes made here if this story is true.
1. Laying down with a belly band on.
2. Having a dog jumping on your lap while having a gun in a belly band while laying down.

Re: "My dog shot me"
If your gun has no manual safety (e.g. a Glock or something like that) then don't carry in a soft-sided holster like a bellyband or Smartcarry, where the trigger can be pulled through the holster if enough pressure is applied. Even if your gun does have a manual safety, I'd still advise against it, because manual safeties can be disengaged by accident.

Re: "My dog shot me"
That is what happened according to the article. The dog disengaged the thumb safety jumping up one time, and pulled the trigger the 2nd time.CleverNickname wrote:If your gun has no manual safety (e.g. a Glock or something like that) then don't carry in a soft-sided holster like a bellyband or Smartcarry, where the trigger can be pulled through the holster if enough pressure is applied.
