Do not leave your firearm sitting in the cupholder of your car in plain sight and then compound the problem by negligently messing with it. Bad things happen as a result:
The Detroit News: Man charged after co-worker's accidental shooting in Auburn Hills
As the victim entered the car, Wright, who has a concealed pistol license, tried to take his handgun from the cupholder and place it in the backseat, according to the prosecutor's office. As he did, the gun was discharged, and the bullet struck the victim’s hip.
Really, don't do that. Have the firearm properly secured in a holster or at the very least in a secure and safe location in the car where you don't have to move it when you have a passenger accompany you in the vehicle.
The victim was injured, which is bad enough, but thankfully not killed by this stupidity.
You cannot afford to become complacent with handling your firearm, nor its proper storage.
