Police found the man sitting on the steps in front of his apartment, but found a blood trail leading to his apartment. The discharge appeared accidental, police said.

antifa and armed with a soup can.

Have these people never heard of holsters?

Seriously.

But I guess the sort of person who doesn't think through the risks of tucking a gun in their waistband is exactly the sort of person who will be carrying a loaded gun in their waistband with the safety off.

If you carry illegally, you never have a holster.

Take your time, MIT, think it through.

PS: If you shoot yourself in the dick with a modern pistol your finger is, by definition, on the trigger.

Who says he was carrying illegally?

I don't see anything about that in the article. I see no reason to assume this isn't one of those law-abiding gunowners that we've been told will always use guns responsibly for the safety and protection of others.
