There are many reasons you need a good holster and situational awareness to carry reconciled. Retention means more than just keeping your gun away from bad guys. Thanks to Hanna Thimsen who shared her story and video on Facebook. Lucky for her, it has a happy ending and a lesson for us all.
“Sooooo, after a long day hiking all over the wilderness around Girdwood taking wedding photos, I might have had to pee so bad that I was seeing stars, rushed into an outhouse, pulled down my trousers as fast as I could, and in my haste, maybe I forgot that my gun was clipped to my pants. And just like that, it might have sunk to the bottom of the deep, dark sludge…
?
Thanks to my brave husband, his handy sidekick, and a really big magnet, I offer you the rescue and recovery video.”
And now you know two things. You don’t want to drop your gun in an outhouse and how to get it out if you do.
