Here’s a fun video on gun safety, by Derek “Tex” Grebner, who describes himself on his YouTube channel as “a pretty unprofessional outdoors show host and an unbiased online gear reviewer”. In the video, Tex shows us how not to draw your Kimber Pro Carry II .45 ACP from its holster, by shooting himself in the leg.

Earlier in the day Grebner was practicing a technique on “how to draw and fire from defensive retention” with his 5.11 Tactical Thumbdrive Holster and his glock. With that holster the gun is released by pressing a button with your thumb. This button, however, happens to be located in the same position as the safety on his Kimber.

In the video Grebner explains what happened:

“When I went to draw my pistol, I pushed down and took off the safety,” he says in the video. “Then I pulled up. The gun did not release…so as I pulled up, I hit that, my finger curled into the trigger guard and I ripped a round through my leg.”

I love America because it’s a place where you can buy so many guns that you forget which one you’re using.
