Colion Noir recently tackled a textbook example of what not to do when carrying a firearm. Spoiler alert: it involves a pocket, a loose gun, and an almost catastrophic outcome.
In a now-infamous podcast clip, a rapper on a podcast managed to discharge a loaded firearm while it was loose in his pocket—no holster, round in the chamber, and zero trigger protection.
The result? A blown-out pair of jeans and a whole lot of secondhand embarrassment.
Colion didn’t hold back, calling the decision to carry a loaded firearm loose in a pocket “brain-dead activity.” And honestly, he’s not wrong.
Holsters exist for a reason, and today, there are more holster options than ever before—leather, Kydex, hybrid materials, even fancy engraved designs. Pocket holsters are literally made for this exact situation.
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.
And if that happens? You’re not just dealing with a minor injury—you could bleed out in seconds.
Some argue pocket carry offers quicker access, but Colion breaks down why that’s not always true.
Sitting down? Good luck pulling a firearm out under pressure. Plus, pocket carry without a holster prints badly, advertising to everyone nearby that you’re armed.
But here’s the kicker: the podcast wasn’t even live. They could have edited the footage out. Instead, they uploaded it for the world to see—a cautionary tale in glorious HD.
Colion’s takeaway couldn’t be clearer: Buy a holster. Seriously, if you’re going to carry, do it responsibly. No excuses, no shortcuts—just buy a holster and carry smart.
