This. So much this.
Me and my Signuts.
You referring to all the post trans men out there? Or is it trans women? I get so confused!
So I am constantly working on being less critical of others in our "community" after all who am I to be the arbiter of what right is. Then something happens and the struggle is real. The other night I went to an indoor "action pistol league", the attendees are what most people would consider gun guys. Let me start by saying, they are all nice guys, and at least they are doing something, but the lack of skills, safety, good gear and overall knowledge was just mind blowing. I could write a large pamphlet on all of the things that happened just that one night. Fortunately nobody was hurt. The problem is these guys carry, or at least claim to and I know at least a couple of them are "instructors". Furthermore, even with the evidence of the scores staring them in the face, none of them seemed to think they had any issues with performance or safety. Let me stress, I am not for required training to exercise a right, and I know untrained people successfully defend themselves with firearms all of the time, but I hope to never be around when the "typical" gun toter skins that smoke wagon.
...........I would have went to another checkout line. Maybe took another lap through the fruits and nuts section?
Until he accidentally discharges one when grabbing from his holster and blows your damn leg off. Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction at all times or expect the same in return.
My uncle always wore a pistol crossdraw style on his left. He had a bad right shoulder and a bad hip from a motorcycle wreck back in the day. It was hard for him to draw properly if it was on his right hip. Also he said it was the only way he could draw while seated.
That is not what I was saying at all. I cant believe that anyone who has a presumably cocked and locked 1911 .45 pistol pointed at them would not have some level of concern
Sorry i should have been more clear. I wasnt saying you meant that, i was just saying in general a lot of the opinions i see people express is critical of how others carry. A holster is the safest place a firearm will be, so it honestly doesnt bother me. But thats just me. I know some people dont like anything capable of death pointed in their direction, and i understand that.
All good
Just remember, In the land of no balls, the man with one ball is king.
I can only speak for me. As to my critique at it, I look at multiples other than a holster. Like how the gun is to be drawn, will there be possible innocents swept, will a bad guy have an easy time getting it if you are made and he wants it (guns alone don’t ward off determined bad guys with mere presence alone) etc etc.
