www.wishtv.com/news/local-news/gun-slips-from-waistband-man-shot-in-genital/1819046659"A 46-year-old man accidentally shot himself in a genital Thursday after a gun slipped from his waistband, police said. Marion Police Department issued a news release via Facebook that said Mark Anthony Jones did not have a license for the Hi-Point 9mm gun he was carrying. Jones, in the emergency room of Marion General Hospital, told police he was walking about 6:44 a.m. Thursday on a riverside trail near the Marion Girl Scout Cabin. That's west of the Washington Street bridge over the Mississinewa River. He said when the gun began to slip from his waistband, he reached to adjust the firearm and it discharged." And for those lucky enough to live in KY, you get a governor who's advocating for permitless concealed carry. None of that pesky training or anything like that to get between a gun owner and his unwitting victim.

The guy is an idiot. A gun should be in a holster with the safety on if you are going to be carrying it.
Why would someone just put it in their waistband?

Well all the action heroes on TV do it, so it must be alright, dontcha know! And if you want to move quickly when the time comes to be a “good guy with a gun,” you can’t have that pesky safety or a holster getting in your way.

I can't figure out how this bothers me more:
- that a moron can carry concealed w/no holster - that an armed moron was walking so near a GS camp - those girls wake up early in the morning to use the facilities and often walk alone.
One thing that didn't bother me?
