Check Your Equipment

Here is an excellent example, sent to me by Tiger McKee of Shootrite Academy, of why you should often check your concealed-carry equipment for potential malfunctions. The holster in question was worn beyond use, allowing a section of it to bunch in the trigger guard causing an unintentional discharge.


The only good news about this safety example is that no one was seriously injured. As soon as you can safely do so, check your equipment to ensure that it is in good repair, and replace anything that is worn. This includes holsters, lights, lasers and the handgun itself.


As concealed-carry advocates is our responsibility to keep our equipment maintained to ensure that this doesn’t happen to us. We as gun owners are representatives of the Second Amendment and should go above and beyond to make sure that safety is our No. 1 goal. Afterall, why else are we carrying?
