It's generally under panic conditions, not admin handling or at the range. One fellow was being shot at, so he was in something of a hurry. He pulled, got on the trigger, and shot himself in the thigh on the way to bringing the gun up to the window to shoot at his opponent. I can't speak to inbreeding, but drugs or alcohol weren't a factor.
No holster carry and grabbing the gun improperly is another fairly common cause, but I'm assuming folks here are smart enough to use a holster. For those who use a holster, it *is* rare but happens. Injuries when drawing while seated or prone from being knocked down is more common to see than while standing up. Probably just because they are sweeping more of themselves on the draw stroke. A round that would have hit the dirt had they been standing hits their foot or thigh instead.
If it happens when no holster is involved then it is not the same thing being discussed here is it?
I am not talking about administrative handling.
This makes me think that one problem is that there are so few places for gun owners to practice a draw stroke live fire. That it is difficult for them to perform well in a stressful situation.
I would submit Tex as a case of inbreeding.
