Here’s a weird one for you:
Two face charges after wife shot with gun in bra
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police plan to charge a married couple after the woman was accidentally shot in the arm when her husband reached for her cellphone — which the woman carried in her bra along with the gun — during an argument on the street.
The Associated Press is not naming the Carnegie couple because police had yet to file charges Thursday. The incident occurred about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
That’s when police say the 35-year-old husband reached for the cellphone, accidentally hitting the gun in the process. The gun fired, wounding the woman in the arm. She ran to nearby Allegheny General Hospital for treatment.
Police intend to charge the man with aggravated assault under Pennsylvania’s domestic violence laws. The woman will be charged with carrying an unlicensed firearm.

Here’s what I want to know:
1. How do you carry a gun and a cellphone on a bra at the same time?
2. Is it really a crime to grab your wife’s cellphone? This wasn’t domestic violence, this good man wanted to make a call, hit the gun accidentally, and it went off.
Either way, maybe carrying your gun in a hip holster is a better idea, and if you must carry in your bra, don’t keep a round in the chamber. I know that lowers the defense capabilities of the weapon, but getting shot with your own gun because someone reached for your tits really sucks. You’re supposed to shoot the rapist (which wasn’t the case here), not give him a heart attack.
