How many times?

[wrnyhuise]

Thankfully i have drawn but never had to fire. I hope i never get that far again.

There are several times I have reached for my gun but never actually needed to touch nor draw it. I would like to think I've been lucky so far. I hope that I never have to use my gun in self defense to take a life and that the only time I shoot is at the range, but if the time comes, I will be ready

I have had to draw once, but I have never had to fire.

Possibly. But what you said was much more hurtful.

I'll give you a hug next time I see you since you are still so traumatized.

Damn criminal cops!

Frank you have the right to remain silent..........I suggest you use it!!!!

Leave it to you guys to twist my words. Typical.

I've never had to draw my weapon....thank God, but...I do enjoy going to Mickie D's dismounting it from it's holster and showing it off to all the kids in the place...especially with 5 year old girls!!

Every now and then.
Yesterday, while talking to a clerk at a nearby shop, I found he had to reach into the drawer for his recently, but the potential suspect, reversed course and left in a hurry. ( More complicated than just that sentence implies, but it sounded like he was within 2-3 seconds of a robbery.)

While I have never had to draw in a situation as a civilian, my wife has used (not fired) a shotgun at home before. A strange truck pulled up in the driveway, and just sat there for several minutes without anyone getting out. She stepped out onto the front porch with shotgun in hand, but not pointing it, and the truck took off. Turns out it was the county tax assessor, had the wrong address.

... had the wrong address.

Several years ago I got a new rifle and added a scope. I was going out to shoot it and make sure the scope was all set. As I walked out the door with the rifle in my hands I looked up and saw two men, in suits, getting out of a car in my driveway. They didn't say a word, just dropped back into the seats and took off. I don't know who they were, never saw them again.

So with no ass, how does the fanny pack stay up?

OP, here's a prior INGO poll that helps answer your question (approx. 17%):

Well couldn't think of any other questions to ask an i thought this would be better then just short reply ,an the fanny pack was 14 yrs ago.Just wanted to contribute.

There's nothing wrong with your question or your fanny pack usage. I think it's a valid question. Many of us carry guns, it's only natural to want to know if anyone has ever had to use one.

I actually carry my SP101 in a fanny pack when I ride my bike on the trails. Less chance of losing it if I wreck or fall off my bike. The fanny pack may not be fashionable but it is very functional.

 

[gungirl65]

To your post count? Nice. At least you are honest

So how exactly are the new kids supposed to get their post count up if they can't talk about gun related / carry issues? What are they allowed to talk about?
