It's funny, I take my pistol out of my holster and put it in a "safe place" in my car probably 2-3 times a week, when I enter a pistol free zone. And of course, I also put it back in my holster when I return to me vehicle, before I leave the parking lot. My pistol have never fired once, during any of those times. Maybe I need to get it looked at.
Given that I work in medical land, I holster (1-2 guns depending on stuff) when I get up in the morning before I go to work, unholster (car lockbox) when I get there, reholster when I get out of work, plus whatever else I have to do (going to bars sometimes, etc). I really have a hard time seeing how any pistol goes off unless you have your finger inside the guard when you shouldn't... even without the 1911 design
btw, i just bought my first 1911 (ruger sr1911) a week ago. It's quite nice.
Anybody else figure this jackhole was just trying to let the world know that he carries? I.E. "If any of them thar mudpeoples sneak up on me at night, they gots a surprise a-comin'."
As for the ruling that he had to pay... well it didn't pass, and after the initial outrage/media blitz even the Muslim community ended up admitting that denying his rights was the wrongest thing to do. That's why it got knocked back down. And did I ever have a field day yelling at my Muslim buddies who supported the ban at first, and then i had more than a few "I-told-you-sos" for them when they came around to the free-speech side of the argument.
