Police in St Joseph, Michigan have now confirmed that Christina Bond, a 55 year-old mother of two and a local politician, fatally shot herself in the eye while adjusting the pistol in her bra holster.
"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," said St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp. She was airlifted to a hospital in Kalamazoo where she died the next day.
Carrie Lightfoot, owner of the Well Armed Woman store, told USA Today that bra holsters were becoming increasingly popular.
"Women just need options because one day a woman is wearing a dress, the next day a suit and the next day exercise clothing."
"It's kind of a natural location depending on the size of the gun and the size of the 'guns.’"
