In a report on the Daily Beast, an Idaho State University Professor shot himself in the foot. Back in July, Idaho joined 6 other states that allows conceal carry license holders to carry on campus. The decision was met with enthusiasm for and against it.

According to the article, the professor was pocket carrying his pistol. There was no mention of what kind of pistol the professor was carrying. It does mention he did not have a holster. However, I wonder if the reporter even knows about pocket holsters? I am not a fan of pocket carrying even with a pocket holster. While we won’t know the details, I surmise he fingered the trigger and the gun went off.

I would recommend seriously thinking about pocket carry guns and the potential risk of shooting one’s self.
