Whenever I read a news story about some guy who jams a pistol into his waistband above his crotch and it goes off, my reaction is always the same. I do a full-body cringe and then shout “ooh!”, for obvious reasons. Then I take a moment to ponder the strange and mysterious ways that evolution plays out.
Yes, these types of accidents are rare. But don’t try telling that to some guy who’s just severed his own junk.
I thought of this as I read about a new product being peddled at the recent NRA convention: a bra holster for a gun. As you can see from the enclosed picture, it’s designed with the barrel pointing toward the left breast. When I first read the headline I assumed the bra holster would be a top-loader, so that the barrel would point down once the gun is holstered. It would seem you’d want the gun to misfire down at the ground and away from the cherished breast. But what do I know about fashion?
This new product leads to some obvious conclusions:
1) From now on I’m sitting to the right of any woman in a public place.
2) First-generation products are often dangerously flawed (think cars without seat belts). I’d wait a few years before buying the bra holster for someone as a Valentine’s Day gift.
3) If a woman is standing sideways in front of a teller with a hand stuffed up her shirt, it’s time to flee the bank.
4) The phrase “gun rack” now has another meaning (ie “I’d go easy on the jokes there, Bob, it looks like she done got herself a gun rack”).
5) This must be why God gave women two. He saw this day coming.
As an engineer, I like to stay abreast of new technology, but this doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs!
It was to protect women from being kidnapped. Kidnapping drivers beware!
For some full figured gals they don’t even need a holster just lift one of those puppies and tuck it underneath. Gives a whole new meaning to lift and separate!;)
I think I just did a full body cringe and said something like, “Ooh!”
I can’t see any ladylike way of reaching in and getting that gun. I know it sounds prudish but even in a gunfight, it’s nice to maintain some kind of femininity.
Yeah, right?
Now I don;t now anything about chastity but this but bra scares me massively!
