Do you unload, decock, etc.? Or does it always stay ready to go with one in the pipe?
I'm assuming that most every holster has the trigger guard/surrounding area fully enclosed to prevent accidental discharge, correct?

Funny, that you ask this in relation to time of accidental discharge. My uncle, who is a detective, (I'd also like to add that none of my family acknowledges him as family - this is only being done for story sake) arrives home from work last week. His routine is that he carries his service weapon in his shoulder holder until he gets home. Before exiting his car, he places his service weapon in his EDC bag then enters the house. Last week, he goes to remove his service weapon from his shoulder holster and the weapon discharges while he is sitting upright in his car. Entrance wound on left side, just below the holster, exit wound just above left hip, entrance wound top of left thigh, exit wound underside of left leg just below the butt. Two entrance and two exit wounds with a single .45 round. Unsure as to how the weapon discharged aside from general knowledge of trigger being engaged; these details were left out.
