Reason 2, 3, and 4 are all great examples. They are great examples because they are medically relevant to treatment. There is a difference between that and activism, which is what the doctor in the cited case is doing. Should there be a law? No. However, I hold doctors in a regard similar to that of many respected professions that hold a trusted place within our community such as teachers, police officers, religious leaders, elected officials, judges and so forth. While allowing their personal prejudices to influence their work may not always be against the law, it certainly violates a trust expected of the position they hold. When that happens the professional community they belong to should shun such behavior. Right and wrong is a matter of opinion. I believe it is wrong. On another note, I believe you can go to any of those strip mall labs and have your lead levels done for a fair price. I have a relative that worked for a while on an indoor range and had to do that regularly.

The original story was regarding a Ped doctor asking the parent of the child patient. Parent refused and was dropped as a patient. We live in an age where parents must live in a constant state of fear regarding having their kids taken away, or being put under the microscope for no good reason. I don't think it's a stretch for an activist Ped to call CPS because they feel you shouldn't have guns with a child in the house. Think it's a stretch? How about the cases where parents were investigated because their kids simply drew pictures of shooting guns? Sounds silly to me too, but this is the world we live in and it won't get better. I'm not saying that I would have a problem answering, but that isn't the point. Practices like these should be outed for activist behavior. It has no place in a patient/doctor relationship. Let's change the venue: Cashier: "Thanks for shopping at Kroger. Do you own guns?" You: "I don't want to answer that." Cashier: "Well that is your right. It is also our right to refuse service. We don't believe in the 2nd Amendment and don't wish to serve people that do. Bye bye now." Sounds silly? I don't see the difference. Activist behavior such as this should be exposed for what it is and properly shamed. The fact that medical professionals would engage in such behavior is just sickening.

Why come on here and make such a broad statement about all people who OC? Plenty of folks here do it, and I wouldn't classify them as "idiots." Different strokes for different folks, ya know?

Any special care you take for it after polishing? Thinking about doing that myself to see if I like it, and will just Duracoat it if I don't.

Holsters are bad for street cred.

I recall a few years ago a video of a young man who had been harrassed by a police officer before set up a video camera and recorded a stop. The police officer went looney on him, then threatened to arrest him and make up charges. Like most videos of that nature, it went viral and made the national news. At that point I don't believe admissible matters. The damage done by such a release would send a DA running into the corner and severly damage any LEO agency attempting to push charges on you. I've seen stories of PDs issuing their officers body worn cameras to record interactions with the same intention as the cruiser cams. I think all that is a great idea, and if I was an LEO I'd be all over it. When my dad finally got one for his car it made quick work of complaints against him; all they had to do was to look at the tape.

I would think the only concern people would have would be on the draw... meaning that perhaps the shooter would accidentally get his finger on the trigger whilst drawing and have an AD. I'm not worried about that but I can see why some may be.

Thanks. How comfortable is it to shoot like that? Also, in your back pocket, is it small enough for the pocket to contain the width of it? I'm wondering whether it gets sorta "hung up" trying to draw it out of there.

Will a standard AR crush washer work on there without looking out of place?

I submit to you Jack Daniel's Single Barrel.

Right? It was actually the nurses though, and I didn't put up a stink or anything for many reasons. I get that the rules aren't made at their level, but it still burns me.

Well, once again it isn't a holster. Also, there are plenty of folks out there that carry their pocket pistols... well, in their pocket sans holster. This set up appeals to me for the reasons the above poster mentioned as the pocket is acting like a holster. The shape of the device prevents its movement in the back pocket, so the only threat of ND comes at the draw (as does with most NDs on any holster). If the pistol remains in the same position all the time (due to the design) then it is no different than drawing from an actual holster. The fact that it is always stationary allows for practice drawing to ensure proper trigger finger placement during draw. So as the firing hand goes in, the trigger finger would be parallel to the slide with the middle finger entering the "loop" thus giving you a point of contact to draw. However, getting off topic, I was really hoping with all the LCP owners out there at least one or two would have used this in the past. Was really hoping for input from them.

Just be careful backing it up. Did this with my truck with a trailer hooked up to a ball on my bumper trying to back around a curve . Got a little tight and the toungue of the trailer pushed in my bumper and dented it. Now I'm waiting for a careless texter to buy me a new one. The advantage of the tow bar is having that standoff. Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't take any sharp turns backward.

I'm kinda set on this one due to the size and how well it appears to maintain one consistent shape. I looked at a few others that could go in the back pocket, but the designs which break up the print are much bulkier, and the ones that don't would imprint the pistol grip on my back pocket. I've seen this on a range once, and I wish I woulda stopped to chat with the guy who was shooting it, but I don't like bugging people. This set up is the only hold up from getting the LCP. Otherwise I'd just ankle carry and get something a little more solid like a P238. I'd really prefer the back pocket carry though. I sometimes find myself places where I'm not comfortable with my EDC being seen and I like this as an alternative.

If you could please point to where I said that a doctor should be forced to serve every person who walks through their door. I don't enjoy having words put into my mouth more than anyone else. I've made it clear in regards to my opinion on legalities, but I've also made clear what I believe to be wrong. Yes, I think it's wrong to refuse someone service based on their beliefs or aspects of their personal lives. If someone is refused service because they have a shirt on that says "Jesus Saves" and the business owner happens to be an athiest I would classify it as wrong and unethical. Should the business owner have the right to do that? Yes, absolutely. Just because you have the "right" doesn't make it "right." This physician refused service because he is an activist, in my opinion. I think it is more wrong for a medical professional to refuse service based on such beliefs than most other professional service providers because of the role medical professionals fill in our society. Their personal/political/religious beliefs should never interfere with how they treat a patient. Their concern should simply be with the well-being of that individual.

That's all fine and good about the trigger and all. I guess it boils down to your level of comfort.... kinda why I was asking if anyone out there had experience using this, not asking whether or not anyone here would use it. BTW, this isn't an AOW or banned or anything like that. It's not a holster.

As a matter a fact I was. I always use those experiences to explain to my wife what socialized medicine looks like. I remember breaking my finger when I was a private and not going to to the TMC simply because I didn't want to deal with the hassle of waiting amongst all the malingering profile seekers. I just got a finger splint and tape from a guy with a previous finger break. It's amazing how many people with non-problems will seek medical treatment when they aren't having to pay for it.

For inexperienced or irresponsible gun toters I would agree. I'm a big boy though so I think I can handle it. Just looking for folks that carry this way to see what their experience is. I'm in the market for either a LCP or P238, and back pocket carry is what it going to be pushing me one way or the other with the motivation of ease of draw whilst not printing.

Wanted to see if anyone carries their LCP back pocket with this rig and what their review of it is. http://www.cabelas.com/holsters-belts-desantis-pocket-shot-8482-holster.shtml

The mandatory "training" was aimed at temper control and how to deal with an inconsolable child. While I agree that hospitals and pediatricians should make an effort to educate, presenting such material in a "mandatory" way is wrong. If I was asked to participate I would gladly do so. However, I'm a big boy and I don't like being told what to do as if I'm a child. Kinda like the 4th Amendment. I have no problem with agreeing to a police officer searching my vehicle so long as he asks nicely. It doesn't mean that I think the 4th Amendment should go away though. And if the police officer "demands" it, or implys that the search is mandatory, then I will cease to cooperate and make a stink about it. Nobody likes being told what to do or being forced to do anything against their will. Unfortunately, it has become an acceptable part of our society to allow it to happen to the point when someone calls attention to it being wrong they are suddenly the oddball. Madness.
