67. There is no constitutional right to carry a gun concealed.

That is solely a privilege granted by permit in a locality or state. That can be revoked without court action. The man doesn't lose the gun, he just can't hide it under a coat and walk around in public.

Now there are some rules/exceptions provided for normal use of firearms. A hunter needs to be able to carry his rifle to the forest to hunt and a target shooter needs transport to the range. There are rules to do so by car with the firearms unloaded. In the case of the hunter, you will obviously need to open carry the rifle through the property. These provisions are inherent to a right to own firearms.

As for the accident, a lot of popular carry pistols use what is called a long pull trigger safety. The distance to pull is longer and the force required is higher. I personally dislike that design, and own none of that style (I also don't carry a pistol concealed and have no use for one). The problem with that design is it is too easy to snag a wallet corner on the trigger, not realize as you pull the wallet upward, and accidentally discharge the firearm.
