[pct-l] Hiker shoots self in butt

[Wes Rose]

"The 52-year-old Snohomish man had moved his .40-caliber handgun from its holster 
to his back pocket Saturday to see if that position would be more comfortable. "
"The Wenatchee World reported the gun fired the bullet down his left buttock and left 
leg, coming to rest just above the knee. "

My guess is that the handgun was more comfortable in the holster.
