The closest thing l've ever seen was two weeks ago at our Monday bike night.
We have a raffle with decent gift cards and gag gifts. One guy gets up to claim his prize and his shirt had come all untucked and riding up over his grip. I think it was an od Glock. No one said a word. Except his wife must have. Later he was all tucked back in tight again. |

More years ago than I care to remember I carried a BHP in a Bianchi shoulder holster, the vertical kind with the slit all the way down the front and the spring in it. They worked great for revolvers, but sucked for autos. One night I was shooting pool and my BHP came clattering out onto the pool table. Rather embarrassing, but what could I do do except pick it up, put it back, kind of rearrange the balls they way they were, and take my shot?
Also, had a similar thing happen in a shoe store with a small auto in a belt holster. This was much later than the first incident, I was married and the wife covered for me until I retrieved it and put it away. |

I went mountain biking one winter day, and at the trailhead were some guys I knew with their friends. I didn't know these trails very well so I asked if I could tag along. Since it was cold, I had a 9mm fs iwb with a spare mag owb covered by a long button down shirt (with the buttons undone). I started at the back of the group but moved up as the ride progressed because my skill level was above most of the group. About an hour in, I'm riding second wheel and we're tearing through this off camber twisty singletrack. I ducked under a cedar tree but my right hip tagged it hard and it ripped off the spare mag, kydex carrier and all. I didn't notice this at the time. We finish that section of trail and one of the guys behind me hands it to me and says, I saw you drop this. Then the ride leader pats my side before I can swat his hand away and says Yep, he's carrying a gun.
Got made in the first hour on my first try carrying while riding.

I had two tickets to a Toby Keith concert. My girlfriend got called to work day of show for an emergency. So I asked at my work who wanted to go. Of course the shop idiot was only one without plans. A few hours later sitting in the bleachers next the guy surrounded by several thousand people I hear loud clanking as his Ruger P85 bounced off every metal support all the way to the ground. Luckily we live I a 100% gun friendly area and everybody around us laughed. |

About 20 years ago I had my Para P-14 stuffed down the small of my back while I sat in a wood chair at a restaurant. The wood chair was traditional early american style with wooden dowels for its backing. Later out in the parking lot and ready to get in my car, I grabbed the pistol out from under my shirt to find the thumb safety had pushed off while the magazine was also sliding out of the gun. Does that sort of qualify as stupid as a dumbass dropping his gun? I don't carry that way any more. I had since also sanded that magazine button release to be flat and level with the frame so I don't unexpectedly end up with a 15 shot 1911 that will only fire off one shot! (If I ever need more then 15 shots, I can still press that flat magazine release button easy with my thumb nail need be.)

I'm active duty in Europe. One of those who does long walks in the centre of town, carrying guns.
Anyway. Busy (and I mean BUSY) shopping mall has an entry/exit leading into an underground corridor that goes to the subway. We patrol the corridor. The entry/exit has a security checkpoint due to some....unforseen circumstances, with a rent-a-cop checking bags. So there's a line of 50+ people leading out into the corridor. One of my collegues was walking in front of me, carrying his FN SCAR on the issued one point sling. a yawn. a snap. a flurry of grabby hands and FUCKFUCKFUCK a FN SCAR sliding clattering across the floor I swear the world stopped turning, as *everyone* stopped whatever they were doing to stare at the gun laying on the floor... |

I was at an auction sitting behind a guy that was concealing a 1911 in his back.
You couldn't see the gun, but when he sat down it pressed a perfect imprint of it into his jacket. When he stood up, the imprint was really obvious and people were point it out. |

Yeah, I was that guy. I took my Para-Ordnance P13 to the pool at my apartment complex. It was late at night and I was going there to sit in the hot tub, so I figured I'd just leave it in the towel I had brought with me and leave it within arm's length, no problem. When I went to open the gate it became clear why so few people use a folded beach towel as a carry option, as the P13 fell to the ground. The funny thing was that the impact broke off the safety selector; it just cracked right in two. I sold it after that because I knew I'd never feel the same about it, and I sure wish I had it back now. |

Was at the auto auction buying a vehicle for my son. As more people arrived the warehouse where they held the sale started to get warm. Guy two seats over takes off his windbreaker and a Ruger LCP kissed the concrete. I looked at it briefly, he picked it up and stuffed it in his pants pocket....nothing said.
The sales are cash or account, most of the smaller dealers pay cash. Don't blame the guy a bit for carrying a Gat. |

Had a guy come into an exam room open carrying a stainless ruger P series. I made him instantly and brushed it off immediately but could tell his family was uncomfortable with him carrying. Guy wasn't the quickest of cats if you catch my drift. I went on business as usual and didn't mention it. The para staff didn't even notice but I was sure they would freak out if they did. I was waiting for the "omg that psycho has a gun, I don't feel comfortable!" ect. FWIW I don't like the fact that clients can carry but I can't.

I always pocket carry a BUG regardless of whether I'm carrying a larger pistol with me. One night I had joined some friends at a wings place and we were all sitting down at a high table. I was wearing looser shorts than usual and when I sat down I heard something under my chair that sounded EXACTLY like a Glock 42 hitting the floor
I dove out of my chair and under the table, much to the amusement of my friends, and there was nothing there. Check my pocket, gun was still there. I still have no idea what that was. |

Somewhat related:
I have ALWAYS used the term "heater," for a handgun in my relationships. Every girlfriend and now my wife has learned to refer to them as Heaters. This is so that if we need to talk about them in public it won't catch the attention of bystanders. For example, "Did you bring a heater," doesn't perk up people's ears like "Did you bring a gun." People unfamiliar with old gangster movies don't usually associate "heater" with "gun." |

Older guy (retired campus cop) at church dropped his walking in the door, laughed it off, old lady who saw it wasn't laughing.
Told a security guy, who told a (young and enthusiastic...) cop, who disarmed him and walked him out of the sanctuary from the front pew to the back in an arm bar at the end of service. Young cop didn't know the guy, the rest of us were just like "oh, that's just Jimmy"

I bought myself an elpaso saddlery when I was stationed in Oki for my1911 back home. Fully engraved, it was a very nice looking holster and the thumb snap seemed to be very positive.
One day I was reaching for something on the bottom shelf at the local Walmart and it fell out. I caught it after it bounced and quickly reholstered. I was the only person in the isle thankfully. |

Made a guy going into a movie theater last summer, actually my daughter saw him first ( we as a family enjoy playing who's gotta gun). He had to been new as he could not stop adjusting and feeling for the gun. We all went our separate ways till after the movie I find myself behind him in line for a head call, he learned a very valuable lesson about ccw and button fly jeans that night. He undoes his belt and buttons and I'll be damned if the weight of the gun and spare mag didn't drag his pants all the way to the ground! The sight of him panicking while trying not to piss on himself or the guy next to him while trying to pull his pants up was priceless.
