Some circular “reasoning’ there, I think. Funny thing… our peace officers don’t lose their guns at all, far as I know. The guns remain in their holsters, just as with the rest of us who carry. I don’t know anyone who locks their car, and nobody I know has ever had anything stolen out of their car. Of course, we don’t leave guns in the cars either. We carry them.
“Most US evangelical leaders”…..are leftists, so it’s no surprise they join in the leftist choir of gun grabbing.
Twice I have had a laptop stolen out of my car. The second time they also stole a watermelon that was on the back seat, the cops that took the report thought that was funny as hell.
Needless to say, I never leave the gun in the car if I don’t have to.
The water bottles might catch fire if the sun hits them right………lions and tigers and bears, oh my !!!! I weep for humanity !
Doctors/medical professionals don’t ask but I’m not hiding the gun when I have to disrobe, as I want more doctors used to more people carrying. Never had a problem, some people asked me why, everyone was polite, nobody told me I shouldn’t etc.
Yes, I do warn them and ask for permission before I let the gun show. I’m not trying to scare or intimidate them, I’m trying to accustom them to polite and sensible armed citizens visiting their practices.
I’m not sure how applicable my experiences are for most readers, given that I live in Czech Republic. Doctors here don’t have many of the incentives for gun control that those in the US do.
Why does this appear to be a S.F. problem? I don’t see many stories of it happening elsewhere.
Looks like a good firearm, but why in the world anyone would want to start ruining the barrel by running their own “reloads from cast boolits” is just beyond comprehension.
What EXACTLY is that point. Whining (protest) for whining’s sake?
Or perhaps too much money for BS kiddy games?
Because the average cop is a mouth breathing snowflake who should not even be trusted with a spork, much less any thing more dangerous.
People are wrong about lots of things – many times several at once – due to misinformation and manipulation, as well as personal biases. I read on BigThink yesterday (The Neuroscience of Why People Won’t Budge on Their Beliefs”) that even when presented with factual, objective facts that someone who is already biased towards one position or the diametrically-opposed position, humans tend to clutch even harder to their original beliefs, rather than logic would dictate that they should become more flexible and willing to accept the other position – or at least becoming open to reconsideration.
This is attributed to a very believable reason: an intelligence gap. The only way they were able see any flexibility in trying to influence opinions was by identifying common motives and goals that would be a seed for building trust with the persons with the opposing position. This is a method I have been employing in my professional life to bring together managers with different attitudes and interests within the same organization. Please believe me when I say that it really works!
BTW, they used “gun control” as one of the example survey criteria, along with global warming and vaccine denial. I believe they lesson from this is that in order to become heard for what we stand for in terms of 2A rights, the only way we will be able to effect change is to become less hostile to the anti-gun people, and try to establish a basis for trust so that they might become more receptive to actually listening to what we have to say and represent how it works in the real world, and demonstrate that the pew-pew life is not as evil or dangerous as they might have originally thought.
The last time I used this approach I was with a naive woman in a hospital imaging department waiting area where we each were waiting to be seen. She spouted off some general gun control laws would help fantasies, and I ended up telling her that she was entitled to an option, but that sharing it should be constrained to an “informed opinion rather that regurgitate the lies and misrepresentations of anti-gun organizations who are, at heart hypocritical by enjoying the safety and benefit of personal bodyguards, while denying everyone else from even being capable of defending ourselves. If you are going to express an opinion, wouldn’t you fell more secure if you at least verified the claims you have convinced yourself are worth repeating?”. I was surprised and delighted that her response was positively accepted and actually made her think, telling me that it felt a lot different when considering that perspective, and realizing that gun control laws were ineffective. Overall, a very satisfying experience.
Before you schedule your appt. ask them to email you the questionnaire
see what`s on it, then call to schedule or call to say you will be looking for another provider
I would carry my 4″ 686+ On my hip pretty regularly when it was cooler and I had a jacket on. I keep intending to get a shoulder rig for it to carry it easier but haven’t yet.
It will probably be a while until I carry it again since it’s on loan to my sister as her house gun at the moment until either she gets something of her own or I eventually give her something else outright. It’s a shame she can’t use autos; we’ve never been able to figure it out but no matter how hard she grips the gun or try’s to lock her wrists she just keeps having cycling issues. It’s like anything made with 20th century’s technology hates her.
Guess he forgot his tinfoil hat when he went out for his walk.
Any word on how the vote looks at this point?
Meaning, it may indicate the possibility of some form of 50 state carry passing…
Pretty funny when the total amount is worth less than one dollar$.
GET OFF MT LAWN!!!!!!
OK – The Anthem is starting. On your feet, players.
