The article doesn’t mention how discharge happened, but a common cause of such instances is a piece of clothing or something snagging the trigger upon reholstering, which is why most instructors will tell you to “look the gun back into the holster” or something to that effect.
If you can’t sit down at least semi-comfortably with your pistol and holster, you need to either adjust where you carry them or get a different pistol and holster. If your gear doesn’t work, you need different gear.

These incidents have plenty of lessons. Most obvious is that you should always treat guns as if they’re loaded, and check for clear. Clearly, both involved huge failures in literally the first thing a person should know about gun safety.
Most of our fathers probably told us that line about what you make yourself when you assume.

They still happen! In fact, a man in York City, Penn., has been sentenced to eight years in prison, according to the York Dispatch, for accidentally shooting his daughter.

A person could go on and on with more examples where dumb gun owners (and one person illegally carrying) made terrible errors through ignorance, negligence, and arrogance. In some cases, it resulted in mere injury. In others – well, you get it.
To be sure, the Second Amendment is not just for people who have the time and money to take dozens of hours of training per year. It’s for everyone, and that was the entire point. It is also the case that gun owners are constantly maligned in the press and elsewhere. It’s up to each of us to be better than the image of us that is portrayed, and concern for life and safety is where that starts.
Don’t act the fool, and do what you can to help others do likewise.

Heading into Friday night, I was pretty clear that a win against the Spartans would go a long way for my Badgers. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Well, we didn’t look good at all. Despite losing by 12, this game was out of reach for the vast majority of the second half.
It was crystal clear that we weren’t going to win pretty early in the second half. You can check out highlights of the game below.
There’s no shame in losing to a great team like MSU, but it’s a little embarrassing how it went down. We weren’t even in it for most of the second half.

Now, we’ve got a game against Nebraska, and we’re sitting at 11-7. The Badgers are getting dangerously close to the point of games becoming must-win matchups.

A woman gained a Vatican leadership position and the president’s campaign flew a banner over Iowa on debate day, all while impeachment proceeded in Washington this week.
House managers walked articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate Wednesday. A trial in the Senate convened Thursday.
Here are three news items that happened outside of D.C. while impeachment played out:
1. Pope appoints first woman to senior role in Vatican’s most powerful office
The head of the Catholic Church appointed a woman to a high-level diplomatic position at the Vatican. Pope Francis elevated Italian lawyer Francesca Di Giovanni, 66, to undersecretary of multilateral affairs in the Secretariat of State office Wednesday.
“It’s the first time a woman has had a managerial position in the Secretariat of State,” she told Vatican News. “The Holy Father has made an unprecedented decision, certainly, which, beyond myself personally, represents an indication of an attention towards women.” (RELATED: Publisher Refuses To Remove Pope Benedict’s Name From Bombshell Book On Priest Celibacy)

2. Trump’s campaign did a flyover in Iowa
A Trump ad flew over a Democratic debate venue in Des Moines, Iowa, before presidential candidates kicked off remarks Tuesday.
“Trump fights for Iowa farmers,” the banner said.

Rain drenched parts of Australia amid deadly wildfires.

“Rain has fallen across most firegrounds over the last 24 hours which is great news! Our fingers are crossed that this continues over the coming days,” the New South Wales Rural Fire Service tweeted Thursday.

Relief is here for a number of firefighters working across NSW. Although this rain won’t extinguish all fires, it will certainly go a long way towards containment.

Over 100 U.S. firefighters are assisting in Australia with the fires. Bushfires have killed at least 28 people since September 2019.

“It may be true that someone in the congregation had his own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people, but it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot,” the former New York City mayor said. “You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”
Wilson, a recent recipient of the Governor’s Medal of Courage for his heroism, told Turning Point that the Second Amendment is crucial to keep from losing “all other rights.” (RELATED: Beto O’Rourke Doesn’t Thank Armed Churchgoers Who Stopped A Mass Shooting in Texas)
“The firearm is not the evil thing,” Wilson said. “The person who had it is either good or evil. It’s not a firearm issue, it is a person issue.”
The tweet went viral quickly, and he found plenty of agreement:
How could anyone be against an armed American shooting a terrorist? It’s almost as bad as people who are against killing Soleimani, a terrorist with American blood on his hands. — #ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) January 19, 2020
I wish someone like Jack had been at the unprotected school my brother was killed in! — JT Lewis (@thejtlewis) January 19, 2020
The 2A is a right Bloomberg can’t take away. We have the right to protect ourselves. God bless Jack Wilson. — Jessica Fletcher (@heckyessica) January 19, 2020
Jack Wilson is an AMERICAN HERO who saved countless lives from a deranged evil mass shooter. Americans are grateful for his actions ????????pic.twitter.com/E2UTR50Y8M — Michael Coudrey (@MichaelCoudrey) January 19, 2020

CNN ’ s Brian Stelter hosted a Media Matters for America ( MMFA ) staffer on “ Reliable Sources ” Sunday , despite the left-wing activist group ’ s history of misleading readers .
Stelter spoke to MMFA senior staffer Matt Gertz about a study regarding President Donald Trump ’ s tweets .
Gertz tracks Trump ’ s tweets to “ figure out if he heard it on Fox News , ” according to Stelter , who did not mention the multiple times MMFA has spread misinformation .
“ The president really fixated on Fox ’ s commentary .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mainstream , picking up quotes and arguments that they make and then telling all of his followers all about it , ” Gertz claimed Sunday .
In July 2019 , MMFA published a list labeling numerous conservatives as “ extremist figures ” who had been invited to a White House summit .
Included on this list was Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz , TPUSA chief creative officer Benny Johnson , journalist Tim Pool , the Heritage Foundation , PragerU and others .
“ We used to reserve words like extremist to describe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Center , or who wear masks and then vandalize universities and assault reporters , ” Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk , another conservative on the list , previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation .
“ Media Matters cheapens that word and proves what a joke it is by using it to describe mainstream organizations like TPUSA , Heritage and PragerU.
” The left-wing activist group ’ s own president mislead readers as well – with Stelter ’ s help – in March 2019 .
After the DCNF reported on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Angelo Carusone , he told Stelter it “ was intended to be a giant , obnoxious right-wing caricature , a parody of a right-wing blowhard living my life.

thedailycaller--2020-01-19--Elizabeth Warren Questions If Americans ‘Want Someone Who Lies To Them’

Democratic 2020 candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday questioned whether Americans want to support a presidential candidate who doesn ’ t tell the truth .
Warren , who has repeatedly struggled with the truth on the campaign trail , was asked during a press scrum whether it ’ s “ disqualifying for a presidential candidate to lie to the American public about anything ?
” “ I would think that it — you know , how could the American people want someone who lies to them ?
” Warren answered .
“ I think that we just do our best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hope that ’ s what happens with everyone.
” GOP strategist Luke Thompson predicted Warren ’ s answer will “ be used in ads ” if she wins the Democratic nomination .
( RELATED : ‘ Media Malpractice ’ : CNN Faces Backlash For One-Sided Questioning On Sanders Vs. Warren ) Warren , who is feuding with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over whether he said a woman couldn ’ t win in 2020 , has repeatedly faced questions of dishonesty on the campaign trail .
She infamously portrayed herself as Native American for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minuscule fraction of Native American DNA .
In fact , Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is apparently more Native American than Warren .
Warren told school choice activists in November 2019 that her children didn ’ t go to private schools — even though she sent her son to an elite private school .
“ We are going to have the same choice that you had for your kids , because I read that your children went to private schools , ” one school choice activist told Warren after a campaign event .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ public schools , ” replied the Massachusetts senator .
Publicly available records show that Warren , who has pledged to crack down on school choice if elected , sent her son to an elite private school .
Warren also faced scrutiny over her changing versions of why she only worked one year as a public school special needs teacher after college .
She repeatedly said on the campaign trail that she was pushed out of the job for being “ visibly pregnant ” — but she told a different story before running for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a year , and then that summer I didn ’ t have the education courses , so I was on an ’ emergency certificate , ’ it was called .
