A Michigan woman was trying to adjust her bra holster when she shot herself in the face, authorities said.

Christina Bond, 55, was repositioning the handgun inside her brassiere when she looked down and fired a round into her eye, the Kalamazoo Gazette reported Wednesday.

"She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn't get it to fit the way she wanted it to," said St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp.

"She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon," he said.

Wow...I guess those holsters are no good after all. I never thought much of them.

Why would someone be adjusting a holster using a loaded gun...That seems pretty obvious to me.

These holsters make me nervous. My girlfriend wanted one for her Taurus TCP .380. The thing sits right near the wearers heart. It just didn't look safe. And the types of firearms that use the bra holsters (Taurus TCP, Ruger LCP etc.) have no safety at all. I made her return it and get an IWB for her hip.
