Maybe this is something that's pretty well known. But I didn't know about it until I did it... Anyhow I was walking through my house on Sunday and my friends kid was there. She has toys, and as I'm not accustomed to consistently scanning the floor for children's toys, I stepped on one, and it pushed my foot out from underneath me and I fell!... ON MY GUN! and it hurt like an SOB!... I'm 300lbs though... but still... good thing the gun is okay... Watch how you fall people!
 
glad you are ok. maybe you should make your home a toy free zone.
 
Precisely why carrying in the small of the back is a really bad idea. Well that and at least two other reasons. I hope you weren't carrying that way.
 
I've had the pleasure of falling on my holstered gun when I was walking the dog last winter and slipped on a sheet of ice.

"Ouch" was just one of the words I used.
 
I got punched in the Kimber, I mean kidney once... It was really painful. It caused a little pain on my end as well.

I slid in my ex mother in law's driveway last winter, while carrying my (then) six year old...

As a habit, I keep my right side clear. And anyone who's carried kids knows if you fall, you put yourself between the ground and the child...

Resulted in a very odd bruise.

One nice thing about IWB is that folks protect their guts and other sensitive body parts instinctively, so although I have fallen many times I have never took a solid hit to the pelvis because my gun focused the energy of my fat self landing on it...can't say the same for my shotgun, flyrods, or measuring tapes.
 
Had you been injured badly enough to require treatment, the doctor would have reported it as a gun accident and the press would have a new reason to demand that guns be outlawed!

Thankfully not small of back... right hip. Sitting at about 330... fell square on it.. it was a revolver too... lol next time ill try to avoid falling on that
that particular spot.

Oh, i did that hiking in the snow one time. It was icy and I slipped and fell backwards and the butt of my Ruger SP101 was between me and the rock i landed on. Cracked a nice set of Hogue Rosewood grips too. I was pretty peeved about that.
 
I dumped a motorcycle once and came down on a holstered SW-39. Tore the holster up and put a few scratches on the grips, and left a big ugly bruise on my hip.

I stopped carrying when riding after that. Gun went in the hard case on the back.
 
I carried IWB at 5 o'clock for years. Then one day chronic back / leg pain. Suffered thru it a while and had to go to back doctor. Turned out to be my gun pushing on a nerve.
 
I think I would rather fall on my sidearm again than step on a lego or Lincoln log.

At least my sidearm doesn't grow spikes in the dark.

Yeah. Press reported on a guy who was in a motorcycle wreck a few weeks back and the gun discharged killing him.
 
Wait until you are the victim of a particularly nasty toy.

The Lego caltrops.
 
Oh believe me, Ive stepped on my share of legos. No bueno!

This event really has me thinking about where I carry whilst on my motorcycle... Im starting to think the ankle may be the only safe option.
 
As others have said:

Stepping on a Lego in your bare feet in the middle of the night will make even an atheist cry out
"OH GOD" !

Guns or anything else for that matter. Common advice for backpack users that ride motorcycles is to never put anything hard and lumpy in a back pack. Spine protector or not a big hard lump of shopping will ruin a spine pronto if the rider has a "flying Wallenda" incident and lands flat on the back pack.

Fell on your revolver eh? This might be one of the few valid reasons for carrying a nice flat semi..... :D
 
What kind of toy pushes one's foot out from underneath one's self?

A Chuckie doll will do that.

Especially if you're at the top of the stairs.
