Semi vs. Revolver for Carry

Does pocket firing mean what I think it means?

I assumed he meant pocket carry.

Firing a gun (especially a revolver) from the pocket is a bad idea for a lot of reasons.

With an auto you get one shot and the gun will likely jam.
With a revolver, you'll likely get burned through your clothing by the blast coming out of the cylinder/barrel gap (and/or catch your clothing on fire). Good chance of burning your hand too which means you're also probably only getting one shot off.

That is what I understood it to mean, though, it was an idea from the aforementioned conversation. Regarding the flare out the sides, I certainly hadn't considered that particular consequence. Though, that second pic looks like a real heavy load with a lot of unburned powder making it out of the barrel. But, that is a shotgun loader talking.
