Christina Bond, a 55-year-old mother of two, fatally shot herself in the eye
while attempting to secure her handgun.
"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." ..
She was a local Republican official, and an obituary printed in the
Herald-Palladium newspaper said she served two tours as a member of the
United States Navy.
The obituary also describes Bond as having been "on fire for the lord", and an
active member of the Christian Motorcycle Association...
Carrie Lightfoot, owner of the Well Armed Woman store,told
the USA Todaylast year that bra holsters were growing in
popularity.
"It's kind of a natural location depending on the size of the gun and the size
of the 'guns,'" said Ms Lightfoot. "Women just need options because one day
a woman is wearing a dress, the next day a suit and the next day exercise
clothing."
"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." ..
