Well that was embarrassing!

Its a bad thing when your concealed handgun falls on the lobby floor at the movies, right? Yeah, that's what I thought when it happened Friday night! So how did this potentially ugly circumstance happen? I left a zipper in my coat unzipped, that's how.

Remember I said that on Friday I went to the range in the morning and did some shooting? Well the Kel-Tec P11 has been my carry gun for a few weeks while my smaller Kel-Tec is being repaired. I did shoot it Friday morning, then reloaded it and stuck it back into the inside, zippered pocket of my coat. And I forgot to close the zipper. So Friday night the BSU and I went to the movies. I had my coat off during the show and I was carrying it out of the theater and into the lobby. And as I pulled my coat on, standing there in front of the BSU, the pistol fell out at our feet! I quickly grabbed it up and stuffed it into a pocket seemingly without anyone but the two of us noticing. We beat a hasty exit through the door that was right there at our elbow and headed to the truck with no one chasing us down expecting an explanation.

I did have to do a little explaining to the BSU though... She was mighty unhappy with me!
