If you feel the need to carry a handgun, as an ER doc who has seen too many shot up legs (and as a guy who has from time to time carried), some friendly advice:
1. Your handgun should ALWAYS have a safety, preferably a thumb safety. Heavy trigger pulls and grip safeties won’t save you.
2. Use a holster that covers the trigger guard.
3. Unload your firearm as soon as you don’t anticipate any need for it.
Every year I see people shoot themselves, and kids routinely kill people with found guns.
