Are You Unintentionally Pointing Your Gun at Yourself?
Yesterday we talked about why you shouldn’t flag yourself when you holster - which was met often with the idea that “I have to flag myself, that’s just the way it is.”

I disagree. It doesn’t have to be that way at all. In this photo progression, you see the process for safely holstering: clear your garment and hand to your chest, look into your holster for obstructions (like clothing), tip your hips out, lean back, and slowly holster with the gun pointed outward and between whatever “anatomy” you have going on and your leg. Note that if your holster is set up in your inguinal crease or riding over your “stuff” the gun never has to point at it. As you slowly holster, stop if you feel any resistance as that may be an obstruction hitting the trigger.
.
In this process, if the gun were to discharge, you should not be seriously hurt (or hurt at all). It never points at a part of your body (yes, that also goes all the men who messaged me about your private parts yesterday). This technique even works for folks with large chests, big bellies, and winter clothes. While it might now look as sexy as the next warp-speed flag-yourself reholstering in your feed, I can confidently say that the only thing you stand to gain from pointing a gun at yourself like that is an extra hole.
