[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3337703, member: 5412"] I can see both sides of this discussion. All appendix carry is pointed at your junk, OC is pointed at your foot and outer thigh. Chest carry points at everybody else. I also agree that the gun is not going to self fire....except for one occasion and I have backup with a dozen witnesses to prove it. I had just finished a course of fire in a steel challenge match where you had to fire three shots from one position and four shots from another with running to the second position. Walking back to the first position with the pistol in full view and my finger not anywhere near the trigger, it fired. The Range Officer and several in the peanut gallery agreed no finger on the trigger. The day before the match I had a new trigger installed in the Mark III Ruger. I left it in the condition it was and took it back to the smith. He said a spring was installed upside down. Not sure about that diagnosis, but thousands of rounds later, that issue has never came up again. SO! With that comment, yes guns can be discharged without operator intervention. One in a million or more, but it can happen and I'm the person that it happened to. Some of the folks on this forum are familiar with the RO that witnessed this. [/QUOTE]
