Man accidentally kills himself at Va. grocery store.
While the man was waiting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, it appears he tried to unbuckle his seat belt and mistakenly hit the trigger of his handgun, shooting himself in the hip area.
I’ve been racking my brain on this one. If he was on the driver’s seat and got hit by his own ND, he was not carrying on a holster or crossdraw. Plus he got hit in the pelvis area and that makes me think he was Mexican Carry.
I cannot stress enough the need to carry a gun in a way that the trigger is completely covered. Booger Hook found Boom Stick with deadly results.
UPDATE: It was indeed Mexican carry and a Glock to boot.

And yet again the Glock haters will be using this incident to blame the gun instead of the improper gun handling…in three…two…one…

there it is.
When all of the safeties are deactivated by pulling the trigger; it behooves you to make sure it doesn’t get pulled until you intend to.
