So he was carrying a single action .22lr cowboy action revolver....in a satchel, in a holster...

Interesting... Hope he's okay, and I hope some people learn from this

I assume it's the same rule as a big caliber single action. Leave the hammer over an empty chamber. No firing pin block on most of them

Why'd he drop his poke on the floor with a shootin' iron in it?

I hope he recovers.

Negligent is the appropriate word. 

Glad he didn't kill anyone, himself included. 

What is really sad is that he, as well as me and many other folks realize we have to carry a firearm these days due to what has happened to society. 

Hope he fully recovers and gets a safer carry piece.

He had to of dropped that satchel pretty hard, a definate negligent act when any type of firearm is in it.  I take care to always be aware of my EDC's position no matter where I'm at.

Here I was thinking it was going to be a 320, darn.

Incidents are one thing accidents are another. As others have already said I hope the person is going to be OK. I saw the aftermath of a incident with a Virginia dragoon in 44 mag that ruined an acquaintance's left arm. It was being carried upside down in a shoulder holster when it fell straight down and a 240 gr. hit his left arm above the elbow and exited near the arm pit. That was 40 years ago and every time I see a single action revolver I instantly have a flashback of his arm.

Sad to hear that, goes to show you that even the lowly .22 can have fatal consequences.

Sad ending to a life lesson. RIP
