Unholstered weapon strikes again.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Police said the mother of a teen daughter who was shot Saturday night reports the gun that killed her fired off accidentally.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said a 13-year-old girl was shot around 10 p.m. inside her home on Edgehill Avenue. The victim was taken to the hospital, where she died of a single gunshot wound.

Police said the teen’s mother told detectives her unholstered .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol was inside her purse and accidentally fired while she was attempting to grab her keys. Charges have not been placed.

Ladies, if you are going to carry in a purse, please get a purse designed for carrying a firearm or at a bare minimum, have a holster that securely covers the trigger and place it in a separate pocket with nothing else.

Saw this at the range.

While waiting for the shotgun class to begin, I saw this.

$109 on the left and $119 on the right.

I am guessing if you don’t feel like building your “Oh Sh*t!” kit or are in a hurry to have something available, you can go with one of these two options.

Notice it does not come with tourniquet, you must supply your own. the range had a crate full of them right under the kits.

Shotgun Class: When in doubt, go back to basics.

It had been way too many years since I took a shotgun class and I admit I don’t shoot it as often as I should, even for fun. So, when Outpost Armory offered a Shotgun Fundamentals class, I decided to follow the advice of Randy Cain and go back to basics and just knock some of the rust.

I believe that other than me and maybe one more, all of the students may have had a passing knowledge of shotgun or plain none at all. It was great to see people wanting to learn and do so in a platform that was supposed to be hard.

We had a couple who did not even owned a shotgun yet but were smart enough to invest in a class. They used a range weapon for the shooting portion.

And, of course the obligatory arty-tacticool photo,

I know, I am not Oleg. Shut up. 😀

They have more classes in other guns coming up and I believe I will take an AR class followed by a Red Dot Handgun class.

I will keep you posted.
