    Pocket carry for LEO backup gun?

    I may be worrying to much about an accidental discharge while pocket carrying. When I started carrying that way I carried the gun fully loaded with five rounds. However, I have a job that requires me to foot patrol rugged terrain. Occasionally I have fallen and landed right on the gun and...
