Except of course when you accidentally shoot yourself with them and die.
A Michigan woman who fatally shot herself in [the] eye was adjusting her bra holster, police said Wednesday.
The shooting happened at the home of Christina Bond, 55, on New Year’s Day.
“She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn’t get it to fit the way she wanted it to. She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon,” St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp told the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Well, that’s a shame. But up until that point, she was way extra safe because of that gun! So it balances out in the gun’s favor.
The only answer to a bad brassiere with a gun…is a good brassiere with a gun?
Maybe the gun was just standing it’s ground?
Here’s some more Salon articles about how more guns really don’t mean less crime or safer citizens:

I’m looking for a recent article about women’s safety specifically, but can’t find it yet…
So, she didn’t remove the gun when she adjusted her bra holster, amazing.
The RawStory article mentioned that she was elected as a Republican Precinct Delegate for Saint Joseph Charter Precinct 1. She wrote: “What I learned is that we need more people involved in taking our country back and it starts at home with everyday people who care, and I believe we all care. So let’s do it!!”
A comment to that story is that she spent her life being afraid of black people, but in the end, she was killed by a middle-aged white woman.
I live in terror because of gun nuts, and wonder if we can ever be safe from them.

Wtf would anyone put a gun in their bra?
If you are wearing a shirt, anyway. You either have to go up your shirt and dig it out or go down from the top and possibly engage your own tits in a firefight. Probably end up pointing it at your own midsection (or worse, head) while doing so. Seriously, what the fuck?
Lol Lorn, that right there is the only bra gun I would ever wear. Points safely away from the wearer, and can be cleverly hidden under any pants suit, or worn openly in more casual situations.
I’m unsure about the trigger mechanism, but I kind of hope it’s controlled by thoughts.
Evidently yes.
A BRA holster?
*googles for “gun bra holster”*
Methinks they would never be comfortable at all – if I had need of a bra and a gun, I’d think of other ways to carry the gun. But I can see how your eye might end up in line with the muzzle, if you tried to adjust the holster.
But didn’t gun manufacturers come up with smart little gadgets to prevent accidental firing of guns, like safety catches?
It’s supposed to be a “concealed carry” thing for self-defense, not for situations when the target is likely to return fire (i.e. no firefights). Most of the stuff found with a Google search seems to be drawn from the bottom – you are supposed to be wearing it under a loose top so you can reach under for the gun.
A lot of modern civilian handguns lack a manual safety that has to be operated consciously. The small “subcompact” guns likely to be worn in a bra holster often don’t have one: their size limits mechanical complexity and they are supposed to be self-defense guns, and some people consider manual safeties to be a hindrance for those, as it’s another thing that takes time and attention to operate in a critical situation. The whole case is a tragic demonstration that no safety is foolproof and that keeping a round in the chamber is a dumb idea.
