Use a holster
And don’t leave a loaded Glock in a purse that’s full of stuff:
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office officials say a woman was shot in both legs and her boyfriend shot through his hand after her gun went off in her purse Saturday afternoon.
Lt. Phillip Young said the woman’s Glock went off while the couple sat in a vehicle outside a residence in the 1400 block of Virgil H. Goode Highway in Bassett about 3:30 p.m. The man, who was in the driver’s seat, put a drink can in the woman’s purse before putting his hand on her leg .
“[The bullet] went through his hand, through one of her legs near the knee area and then hit her other knee,” Young said. “Her pocketbook was full of stuff. It’s hard to say what made it go off.”

I never know exactly how to feel about stories like this. On the one hand, there is “stupid is as stupid does”. On the other hand, the knee is a very intricate and complicated mechanism. She might never be “right” again for the rest of her life.

I’m surprised that the gun was still in there. If my wife’s purse was any example of a lady’s purse, they’re like a Black Hole; All matter that enters it disappears, never to be seen again. 🙂

Stupid made it go off.
Just the stupid.

That often happens as a result of stupid.

“On the one hand, there is “stupid is as stupid does”. On the other hand, […] She might never be “right” again for the rest of her life.”
Yeah well, at least she was the victim of her own stupidity in this case. She and the man of course. It could have been far worse.
