I don’t know how a gun fires itself after falling on the floor, but it can happen, specially when there’s a round in the chamber.
Loaded gun falls from pocket, fires inside store
Posted: Dec 09, 2013 11:57 AM EST Updated: Dec 09, 2013 11:57 AM ESTRACINE, Wis. (AP) – Police say they arrested a Milwaukee man after his loaded handgun fell from his pocket and discharged inside a clothing store in Racine.
Officers say the man and a woman were shopping at Burlington Coat Factory Saturday when the gunshot struck a metal fixture in the store. No one was hurt. Authorities say the man picked up his gun and both left the store.
The man and woman saw surveillance video of the incident posted online and went to the Racine Police Department Sunday. The woman was released. The man was arrested for recklessly endangering safety. Police say the man has a valid concealed carry permit.

Tragic, isn’t it? One little holster, doesn’t even have to be the best in the market, could have saved this man from the trouble of getting arrested and perhaps losing his gun rights later on.
Now if you wanted a quality holster, custom-made for your own gun, then I recommend the good people at DeepSouthHolsters.com
