Years ago in a nother life Rampy attended a Caliber Press Street Survival Seminar..and they showed pictures/stories of guys who had a pistol go bang in the pocket without a holster. They showd pictures of 2 leos who had died.....the pistols had snagged when pulling it out of a pocket..got hung up...twisted and were unable to get the pistol out of the pocket cleanly..

They also showed pictures of pocket pistols, lint had gotten into the actions...jammed up the action...

Anything's possible, why flirt with disaster and become a Darwin candidate...when you have a easy solution to a problem.

Cause some people see the need to take themselves out of the gene pool and this guy in the video is a prime example

Well yeah if you are some kind of moron who would have other things in your pocket with the gun. The gun is the only thing in the pocket. Ive been carrying that way for gee I dont know, 5 years, and its never magically gone off in my pocket. Its not any more likely to magically go off than it is in a holster. Morons.

My friend even if you don't have anything in you pocket have you ever thought about the material of the pocket some how getting caught on the trigger. It like a one in a million chance of that happening but why take a unneeded chance

Its one in a million at best and no more likely that for something in the holster to snag the trigger. Pocket carry is perfectly safe, I think alot of people just want to feel tacticool with their holsters and everything.

Which is faster Pulling a gun out of your pocket or pulling a gun out of a holster

why yes it could. it can also turn around and you reach in to grab it and get the trigger...well you know, BOOM! that's if it doesn't jam from all the lint first
