He was laying on the couch with his head on my thigh. I had to get up to do someting, & I put a pillow under his head, & when I came back I took the pillow out & as I sat I didn't realize my SERPA holster with my 1911 was coming down on his forhead. It hit and scraped his head & scalp & of course made him cry. I felt bad, but he got over it.
My all your injuries be so simple.

Well since it sounds like he was pretty young.
I can hear the daycare worker/teacher asking how he hurt his head. Teach: So Jimmy how did you hurt your head over the weekend? Jimmy : Well teach it is like this, my dad hit me in the head with his pistol because I would not move when he wanted to sit down. Tech: Hello, 911? Of course this will never happen in todays society because everyone knows that guns are good as long as noone gets shot in the eye. This is all in jest BTW.

It's kind of a relief to hear what the in injury was. I expected it to be an accidental or negligent discharge. Not that it was good he got hurt, but it's better than what I was expecting. Glad he's o.k. though.

I had something similar happen. I was looking after a friends kids and one of them got hit in the head with an RPG-7. It was terrible, kid nearly cried.
What really happened was this… We went to a local military museum that doesn’t get much traffic. The people who run it are usually happy to see kids take an interest so they occasionally let kids play with stuff. They had a RPG-7, inert of course, and said it would be ok if the kids handled it. Unfortunately one of the kids had it shouldered and the other didn’t know to stand clear. When the kid turned he bonked his brother right in the head with the rear of the rocket launcher. Every time I take kids there I remind them that the equipment in there was designed to survive combat against bombs, artillery, grenades, and machineguns. It was NOT designed to survive children, so please don’t break the tanks. |

In 1985 I accidentally threw a cat on my daughters face.
 She still has a slight scar on her cheek. Some day I'll tell my grand daughter how mom got that scar. ETA: My daughter lived through the ordeal to bless me with a grand daughter. GM |

Don't worry buddy, it sounds like he will be fine.
Give him a little talk and let him know it was an accident and he is OK. Generally if you don't make a big deal out of it with them they wont make a big deal out of it either. I am glad all turned out well.
Thats some funny stuff there... |

No really...let's get this straight. You were sitting around your house (watching TV with your son, from the sounds of it) with your 1911 on your hip??  Yeah, so I'm living in Libtard land, but don't any of you others find this a wee-bit strange?

not really. Even though I live in Illi-communist-nois, that doesn't seem strange to me. Hell, I'd sit watching TV with a 1911 on my hip... easy to shoot the TV if any stupid shit comes on... |

Nope. Not the least bit. If it was anything but a 1911 I might have thought it strange. |

Your profile doesn't say what state youa re in... Doesn't sound odd to me at all. My 1911 is on my hip unless I'm naked. Why take it off and put it back on all the time? |

This is why I can't have a gun within arms reach while watching TV. There is too much stupid shit on, and TV's are expensive. |

Get up in the morning, put the holstered gun on. come back home from work, running errands, store, whatever, and you immediately remove the gun and lock it away? I just leave in my side until I change for bed. |

I had a bit of a rant on it recently in this thread... www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=438528 I agree. Unless there are some special circumstances, I just don't understand the paranoia.

I had the same sort of thing happen to me. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. When my youngest son was about 2 we came back from the store while my wife was still out with the oldest. The youngest fell asleep in the car, so I took him out and sat on the couch with him asleep. Somehow as we were jockeying for a comfortable position his head tipped and hit my 1911 grip safety tang/hammer square in the midle of his forhead. He grummbled for a minute and went right back to sleep. When the wife came home she saw the mark and asked if he hit his head on something. "Err, Ugh, yeah, musta hit his head on something.?!?"

I take my gun off when I take my pants off. That's about it. The holster stays on my jeans until I put them in the wash, & if I'm wearing my robe, the 1911 is on the table next to me.
Nothing like having to run & try to remember where it is in your own home if the emergancy need for it ever arises. At least I would imagine that. I can't understand why you would wear it in public, & lock it up when you get home. Unless it's because you have a shoty, or rifle set out for home defense.  markm! so nice of you to make an appearance. Oh,..........how I have missed your whitty imput????
