I thought about this too at first, but quickly dismissed it. If you put a gun in a "soft" holster and then I bear hug you from behind, I can see the gun being twisted and pointing back up towards the person doing the bear hug.

If your standing behind someone and push on the grip of the gun, the gun starts to move - and the barrel starts to move back towards the person.

Keep in mind we aren't talking about a leather holster here, we are talking about a "neoprene holster" - which doesn't seem to be too secure on the belt.

Do a photo search for "neoprene gun holster" and you'll see what I mean.



The cop was at a party at his own house... He was armed. In hindsight it sounds like a horrible idea, but cops carry their firearms with them all the time when they are off duty, right?

The cop wasn't at fault at all. He was wearing his firearm. She hugged him, she touched the firearm, she caused it to go off.
