CCW holder ND's into his leg at the movies

Shortly after Kansas goes to Constitutional Carry, some yahoo goes and shoots himself. Be careful out there.
WTF did he do? I didn't see any explanation of what he did or how, only that "he shot himself in the leg". Was he coon-fingering his gun? I'd also like to know what kind of gun, striker-fired pistols make me nervous, I don't trust them.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

Most folks simply haven't put any amount of careful thought into a technique that is safe to use for carrying, drawing, and reholstering.
1. Guy was either pulling his gun out of or putting it back into his holster or pocket without some form of holster.
2. He had it out, dropped it and attempted to catch it.
3. He was pocket carrying and had items aside from his firearm in that same pocket.
4. Or he had the the world's slowest hang fire [Joking]
On a serious note if you have a gun on you in a theater, keep it there unless you absolutely need it out.
If you are carrying without a holster or a trigger guard cover slap yourself. (Got it you pocket carry your MasterBlaster 6000 with a 10 lb + double action trigger.) Which costs more? Killing, or injuring yourself or a couple of good holsters? If you must pocket trigger keep that pocket reserved for JUST THE GUN!
That rule about keeping your finger straight and off the trigger should also state and keep your digits firmly registered away from the trigger and trigger gaurd area. If I had a dollar for everytime someone pulled a handgun out of their holster /pocket/ carry device without a decent grip on the gun I would be in the Bahamas sipping a cold beverage for a very long time.
Lastly make sure your clothes and holster selection are conducive to drawing /reholstering. No drawstrings, excessively baggy clothing, or a holster in some God Awful hard to reach spot like a floppy shoulder holster, small of the bag, or obscene distance cross draw.
I'm thinking that's the safe and correct thing to do everywhere...not just in a theater.
At least there was some common sense on display in the theater:
That's rather refreshing.Police said no evacuation was ordered because they treated the situation as a medical emergency.

If you don't trust striker fired pistols, then you don't trust yourself, as you and only you are the one that makes it go bang. Pretty simple...
Didn't say they were dangerous, said I don't trust them.

If you don't like them, just say you don't like them, no need to blame your dislike on an unfounded distrust.
I trust firearm mechanics more than I do the human element.
1911 in condition 1 doesn't phase me nor do partially or fully cocked strikers.
When someone doesn't keep their booger hook off the bang switch...there's your problem.
