the concern was that his gun needed to be on fire if the backpack exploded. this way his gun is "condition 0" when they put him in a body bag.Was the concern the guy was going to rob you?
Owens- Corning pink or roxel lined?i can make you one for 40 bucks...
Whatcha buying??I hate the drive through.
I was already committed to the teller.
It was a decent chunk of change, although the teller knew me, wasn't I would get one that knew me, and I feel weird asking for that much through the drive through.
It was one where she had to re-count, and get an over-ride from the manager type transactions.
Your safety should come off, only when the gun is coming onto target. Accident waiting to happen, just my opinion, take it for what it’s worth.
I you practice enough, it will be automatic. Unless you planned on shooting through pocket, in which case you would probably only get off one shot.
Glad all was ok.
Paranoia ought to be a disqual for CC
I thought you can't carry in a bank
Whatcha buying??
Also, sell the gun with the safety. If gun comes out, it’s going bang! Also, should have capped the foreigner in the vestibule. Teach that POS some manners.
Sarcasm hopefully...what?
I mean, none of us were there to see the situation, so I won't join the people implying you overreacted, but here's a few hopefully constructive comments:
1. One of the two most dangerous manipulations you do with a firearm is drawing (the other is holstering). This is especially true for pocket carry, where your holster might be marginal and you can snag on all sorts of cloth. As such, if your firearm has a light enough trigger to require a safety, disengaging it before you do this manipulation is not a good habit. I get that most Shield triggers arn't 3# 1911 triggers, but why do bad habits?
2. Touching a gun, and manipulating a control, is provocative. It's an aggressive action if someone sees it. And people who know guns will sometimes notice and it's hard to say how they'll interpret it if they do. I know with pocket carry it's right there, and pockets are innocuous, and sometimes you just stick your hand in there casually.... I'd suggest it's best to not to do so when thats your holster unless you're really within moments of deciding to use it.
why do you carry a gun with a safety on? seems like an unnecessary extra step to me if you need it...
...xenophobe.
