Why people shoot themselves *Accidently*?

Depending on the gun, you might be able to install an aftermarket lanyard hoop. I think lanyard hoops are a good idea but I don't live/work in evironments that require them....

You realize my entire post was intended as a joke...right?

Nah, I was with stupid at the time of my post because I'd been awake for almost 48hrs...I've had time to sleep, read and even comprehend the thread since then.

Well, it's a testament to the popularity of Texas CHL Forum that people who have been awake for 48 hours will stop and post on it before they go to sleep! Your dedication is commendable!

As I exited my pickup, to my horror, my beloved Glock 19 went flying and clattered to the concrete now underfoot - no bang.

I hurriedly picked it up and then discovered my synthetic material holster had a screw back out thus allowing the holster to come apart.

The permutations this bit of bad luck could have evolved into are numerous and all scary...
