Florida Woman Shot in Leg by Bathroom Stall Neighbor
Friday, July 10, 2009
TAMPA, Fla.— Authorities say a bullet from a gun that was accidentally dropped injured a Tampa woman sitting in a bathroom stall.
Police say the bullet hit 53-year-old Janifer Bliss in the lower left leg. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Bliss was sitting on the toilet in a hotel bathroom when a woman in the next stall accidentally let her handgun slip out of her waist holster. The weapon discharged when it hit the ground.
Police say the gun belonged to 56-year-old Debra Monce who has a concealed weapons permit.
The case has been referred to the State Attorney's Office to determine if any charges will be filed.
OC'ers have the same issues as CC in this regard, I posted this on Utah Concealed Carry also.
I'll bet this turns out to be a case of a poorly fitting holster, or removing the firearm from a holster and dropping it while on the john. One of my major peeves is the cheap pouch type holsters that will not safely provide any retention without the strap snapped up or a cheap IWB (clip type) without a belt. When we decide to carry, WE THE CARRIER has the absolute obligation to invest in equipment that is SAFE during all daily routines and activities, this irritates me to tears, as I see people in guns stores buying cheap holsters that will not retain a firearm without the strap firmly in place with the intention of using them for CC.
There was even a discussion on this board (I think?) of carriers stating that they remove a pistol from the holster while using the john.
Folks a good holster and belt combination does not require you to remove your firearm while doing routine daily activities.
Anyone else have any additional info on this?
