Guys, some of you saw my post in another thread in regard to the accident which caused the
DEATH of Steve Malloy. Here is the announcement from SWAT Magazine's Editor:
Longtime S.W.A.T. Magazine Contributing Staff Member Steve Malloy was killed in a tragic shooting accident at his home on April 16.
As best as can be determined, Steve had a 1903 Colt pistol in his waistband and when he bent over to tie his shoes, the pistol fell onto the floor and discharged—the bullet struck Steve in the chest. He was found in the garage, apparently trying to leave the home to summon aid.
Hi wife Rhonda, daughter Stacey and son Ross survive him. Second Amendment proponents have lost a valuable ally. The firearms industry has lost an excellent writer. We have lost a friend. Rest in peace, Brother.

Steve was a great guy... one of the few truly "nice guys" in the industry. Apparently, he had made a comment to his wife within days of this accident that he "should get a holster." Steve
KNEW BETTER than to carry a firearm in this way. We all do, yet many of us have done stupid things and gotten lucky. Please THINK before carrying or using firearms inappropriately.
