A Mommy (OP) User ID: 64460874 United States 12/30/2014 05:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1439282 You don't carry a gun with a gun lock. Getting raped/robbed/attacked......Hold on one second I need to find the key to unlock my gun. Not necessarily. I am a CHL and have been trained to disengage the safety with my thumb while gripping my gun - it's almost instantaneous. In the instances my safety is already off, the way I've been trained, it doesn't matter, my thumb just slides down across the switch anyway. I've trained with both hands and with several of our handguns. Now not all guns have the same safety buy all my self defense ones do... I keep the safety on when I purse carry - I don't like the obvious bulge of the body carry. If I body carry I go for the bersa with no safety because of its small size but it's just a 380. Not a great self defense choice imho. I prefer 9 mm or 40... THIS^^ I really hope you don't own guns..... Why? Because I agree that a safety can be kept on the gun and released quick enough to be used in an altercation? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Proud Mommy |

Getting raped/robbed/attacked......Hold on one second I need to find the key to unlock my gun. Since she had it in her purse, the idiot shouldn't have left the purse anywhere. With kids around it should have constantly been on her shoulder/arm whatever. I never carry in my purse BC a purse could get stolen. Always carry on your person. where do you carry eekers? On me the bulge is pretty obvious in most clothes. I have a bra holster that is pretty discreet but is quite cumbersome.

I recently got a thigh holster that looks like a corset. it's super cool! I wanted something to wear with dresses so I wouldn't have to put a gun in my purse. so far I've just worn it around the house and it's comfortable and keeps the gun in place. I figured I'd try it out first so I don't go out and about and drop the gun somewhere by mistake like a tard, but so far, so good.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 66463584 United States 12/31/2014 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | then you don't understand the premise using a weapon for self defense... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66463584 I've owned three hundred weapons over the past forty years, and fired about four hundred different makes. I currently own one but only because it was something my dad bought me about thirty years ago and he left it for me after he died. Because guns represent power, they also bind to ego. And a lot of the gun industry is macho ego. I've shot matches with Jeff Cooper and Michael Harries, Knight, those guys, they've refined handgunning into an art but art isn't really important for self defense. Their art is all designed around extreme edge cases which never occur to the average person. The woman in Idaho is dead because she carried a chambered round, in probably one of the safest areas in the United States. Ridiculous. That's about ego, not safety. I suspect that even most police departments don't carry a chambered round but I'd have to go figure it out and I don't care that much. Even in the old wild west days, the standard carry was five loaded rounds in a six round cylinder, with hammer resting on an empty chamber. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22530628 United States 12/31/2014 09:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ya know , I have been thinking about this and have to wonder is it even possible? A 2 year olds hand is not big enough to grip a glock so it would need two hands to pick it up and if it used to hands to pick it up theres no way a 2yo finger is long enough to reach the trigger and if this kid was a freak with 10" fingers still a 2yo finger extended fully probly couldnt exert the 6-7 lbs needed to get past the trigger break. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45250194 so how could this have happened the way they say it did? I totally agree. |
