Spoiler alert: it involves a pocket, a loose gun, and an almost catastrophic outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a now-infamous podcast clip, a rapper on a podcast managed to discharge a loaded firearm while it was loose in his pocket\u2014no holster, round in the chamber, and zero trigger protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wow, Gun Goes Off In Podcast Guest Pants Who Wasn&#039;t Wearing A Holster\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6fGGVH2axyU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? A blown-out pair of jeans and a whole lot of secondhand embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colion didn\u2019t hold back, calling the decision to carry a loaded firearm loose in a pocket &#8220;brain-dead activity.&#8221; And honestly, he&#8217;s not wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holsters exist for a reason, and today, there are more holster options than ever before\u2014leather, Kydex, hybrid materials, even fancy engraved designs. <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/top-five-pocket-carry-holsters\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"watch-rapper-learns-the-hard-way-holsters-exist-for-a-reason\" title=\"WATCH! Rapper Learns the Hard Way: Holsters Exist for a Reason\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"3341\">Pocket holsters<\/a> are <em>literally<\/em> made for this exact situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-aimpoint-glock-coa-red-dot\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/aimpoint-glock-coa-red-dot\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"watch-rapper-learns-the-hard-way-holsters-exist-for-a-reason\" title=\"WATCH! Rapper Learns the Hard Way: Holsters Exist for a Reason\">Aimpoint + Glock = COA Red Dot<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the cringe-worthy moment, Colion highlighted the serious risks. A loaded firearm in a pocket without a holster puts you in danger of an accidental discharge, which could hit a major artery in your leg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if that happens? You\u2019re not just dealing with a minor injury\u2014you could bleed out in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some argue <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/kimber-solo-carry-stainless-pocket-carry-without-compromises\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"watch-rapper-learns-the-hard-way-holsters-exist-for-a-reason\" title=\"WATCH! Rapper Learns the Hard Way: Holsters Exist for a Reason\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"3342\">pocket carry<\/a> offers quicker access, but Colion breaks down why that\u2019s not always true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sitting down? Good luck pulling a firearm out under pressure. Plus, pocket carry without a holster prints badly, advertising to everyone nearby that you\u2019re armed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the kicker: the podcast wasn\u2019t even live. They could have edited the footage out. Instead, they uploaded it for the world to see\u2014a cautionary tale in glorious HD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colion\u2019s takeaway couldn\u2019t be clearer: <em>Buy a holster.<\/em> Seriously, if you\u2019re going to carry, do it responsibly. No excuses, no shortcuts\u2014just buy a holster and carry smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Have you ever carried without a holster? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colion Noir recently tackled a textbook example of what not to do when carrying a firearm.
