Careful doing this.
My dad always carried a 22 pistol carrying it the exact same way. Long story short, the pistol fell off, discharged, and the bullet went in his back.
The good lord was watching out, the bullet (FMJ) went in approximately 1" due to the angle of trajectory. A couple of local anesthetic shots, and they cut it out.
But makes me think twice anytime I transport a pistol in a tractor/utv/fourwheeler.

I did this with my keys while mowing my mom's 16-acre field. I had no replacement key (had recently lost the spare and hadn't replace yet), and it's a keyless fob.
Car company lets me know that the car will have to be trailered to HQ on East Coast to be reprogrammed, and I could expect around 5k in expenses to get a new key (WTF?!)
Needless to say, I spent a lot of time with a metal detector as well as a drag behind magnet combing over that field. Eventually my brother found it in a totally separate area from where I had mowed. It had stuck in the seat of the mower and then fallen out in a different spot when he continued mowing. I was so danged lucky, and that was an awful 2 days.

Not discounting what happened here but it was not a .22 FMJ.
no such thing

I know you said “pistol” but was it really a pistol or was it a revolver? Either way I’m guessing this was an older handgun without modern drop safety or transfer bar. Was it a 22LR or 22WMR or something else?

That is very unfortunate and I am sorry such a thing happened. That gun would have had to be just at the perfect angle in the X, Y, and Z planes to even hit your dad. Seems to me like if the LORD really had any involvement he could have easily deflected it away from your dad, not just hit him in a non vital area.

I am not a fan of carrying hot.
