According to David's Charlottesville attorney, Bryan Slaughter of Michie Hamlett Lowry Rasmussen & Tweel, David was unsure of where he bought the pancake-style holster, thus requiring two lawsuits.

So if I rely on 911 to save my life, jokers like this may respond? Think I'll stick with my current program - if you try to harm my family or me, I will do all I can to kill you.

Yep - he's too stupid to carry a firearm...I guess if he was trying to put a gun in a jacket pocket and he had a pen or other object in the pocket that hit the trigger and caused the gun to fire, he would have to sue both the maker of the coat and the pen manufacturer.

Sounds like he may have reached around with his left hand (if he carries on his right side)
to hold the holster in order to 'horse' the gun out, then shot his hand.

Anybody that shoots themselves should not be allowed to carry anything more dangerous than a spoon.
Any cop that shoots himself should be placed in the 'school crossing guard' division, till retirement.
Any judge that lets this go forward should be removed from the bench and given a job at the local McDonald's, as a trainee.
My inlaws wonder why I say 'The hell with 911, I've got my 1911".

Nothing wrong with carrying one in the pipe with a DA.
IMO, it comes down to a matter of competency. This idiot would have shot himself with a 1911 cocked and locked.

"According to the court filings, the gun shops were to "use reasonable care in assembling, marketing, selling, shipping and/or distributing the holster and had a duty to provide adequate instructions, training, and warnings to those in the chain of distribution."I can see it now, known as the "Barney Fife" label.....

To: real saxophonist
I worked in cop shops a long time, and periodically something like this would happen back in the good old revolver days. A guy would "dress up" his revolver by putting one of those gawd awful ugly trigger shoes on because a gun magazine writer said it would solve all his shooting problems. The trigger shoes were wider than the trigger guard on most revolvers, so the trigger was no longer shielded or guarded on the sides. The trigger shoes would sometimes hang up on the lip of certain kinds of holsters and blow a hole in the guy's leg.
