This, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why you should always carry concealed with a holster. No exceptions. Whether you’re carrying on your hip, in your pocket, in a bag, or anywhere else, your handgun should ALWAYS be secured in a holster that prevents negligent discharges like this one.

Rapper “2 Low” was a guest on the 1 on 1 W/ Mike D podcast, published on December 31, 2024. Toward the end of the podcast, 2 Low can be seen digging in his pocket—presumably for a lighter to spark his “cigar.” Unfortunately, he also had an unholstered gun in that pocket. That’s when it happened: a negligent discharge.

He’s extremely lucky he didn’t shoot himself or anyone else in the room. After the gun went off, everyone scrambled to make sure no one was hurt. Shockingly, they then continued the podcast as if nothing happened—with what we can only assume was a still-loaded gun remaining in his pocket.

While the video might be amusing to some, it highlights an extremely important issue: never carry concealed without a holster. Period. If you’re pocket carrying, not only does the firearm need to be in a holster, but that pocket must remain completely empty. No keys. No lighters. Nothing. The only reason your hand should ever be in that pocket is to draw the gun in self-defense or to disarm by removing both the gun and the holster.

Negligence like this is how accidents happen. Don’t let it be you.
