I thought about it but you just never know how old folks are going to react plus we were both in the cross walking area of the Walmart doors how ever I did stand by the doors and make sure he was safely in his vehicle and leaving before i went into the store and he was parked right in front in one of the handicap spaces.

Well. I guess the holster was one of the reason I was attracted to it was the gun did have quite a bit of movement when he walked it actually wobbled around a little and it was one of the less expensive black clothe holsters so year $600.00 in a $30.00 holster but what bothered me the most was he was walking with a cane with his right hand, The gun was a cross draw type like would have been a right hand draw possibly but then if he walks with a cane all the time he may have also thought to be able to left hand draw but would have had to reach back past his Cell phone case either way because it was in front of the holster. Then you add all of the packages and bags he was packing to his vehicle both in his left hand and hanging on his left arm there is zero defense in this instance that the man could have prevented anyone from walking up behind him and grabbing his gun and running away unless he was a Ninja with the cane and could have avoided being shot with his own gun. I guess to each his own and I am sure he felt safe but in all honesty he was in more danger than if he was unarmed....................jmho 

I guess it would not bother me to much if someone came up and politely and discreetly mentioned to me that he could see my weapon. This being because I never carry open and if they can see it then I may need to do some adjustment to my carry program because I don't want to even print much less have anyone see my weapon period. Every one has their own opinions on an issue such as this and I respect everyone's for sure.................jmho  

I didn't really pay much attention to his posts and didn't see the last couple that got him sent to never never land but The few  did read seemed a bit off the wall kinda sorta. I have got to were I don't want to ever get booted from here and if I am getting ready to post something I have doubts about I will send on of the moderators a Pm and ask them about it and get their views on it before I go with it. I would never say anything racist because I am not a racist person. I love everyone equally, well almost that is. I do have an issue with some Muslims but not all. Just the ones that want to kill me and all other Americans. Those I have issues with that, but not racial ones, Terrorist ones.............. :shrug: :shrug:

Well, saw an open carry person today coming out of Walmart as I was going in. Prime target for a gun snatch and run for sure. Man looked to be in mid 70's, was alone had what appeared to be a Glock in a holster and you could see the gun moving in the holster as he walked. The gun was in a reverse draw style on his side next to his cell phone case. He was walking with a cane in his right hand and carrying what looked like 2 or 3 bags of what ever he purchased in his left hand and had at least 1 or 2 bags hung on his left arm.  Wish I would have had a camera phone and got a picture of this. There is no one he could have prevented anyone from walking up behind him and grabbing his gun. I would not have thought half as much about it had he been pushing his purchases in a cart to his vehicle but he had all those bags draped all over his left arm and walking with a cane in his right hand........... :shrug: :shrug:

I have watched the Video's about 10 times and even though I am as far from a Tony Stewart fan as anyone can get he did not hit that young man on purpose. If you look at the video really close the number 45 car went past the driver in a dark racing suit and he was close to him ad after the 45 car wen passed the young man stepped down even closer to the path of Stewarts car. There is a really good chance that Stewart was focused on the 45 car in front of him and didn't even see that young man till the last second and then hit the throttle to move around him and the car didn't react as Stewart thought it would and miss the young man. It was something that I have always been against for all the years I raced at Nashville, Smyrna and Ridgetop Racetracks was drivers getting out of their cars in a fit of rage to cuss out another driver. They do it in all divisions from Sprint cars on dirt to Sprints cars in NASCAR. Stewart was one that got out one time and threw his helmet at another drivers car. A race track is no place to climb out of your car while mad and cars are still moving to show your rage. Prayers do go out to this young mans family for their terrible loss..... :( :(  

You will be in my prayers each night. :up:

The Military got a shipment of Condoms in by accident. The shipping clerk didn't know what to do with them so he ask his commanding office what he should do with them. The Commander looked at him and said mark all the cases with the word "SMALL" and send them to the Kremlin............... :usa:

I spoke with my State Farm Agent and she told me that my Renters liability insurance covered me shooting an intruder or defending my self while at home and that she does not see any type of fire arms policies coming down any time soon as the insurance industry has no intentions of getting tied up in any 2nd Amendment Issues between to unhappy indites that cannot settle a dispute that has been ragging for years and is very far away from a settlement for either side. My agent also has an HCP and she says she never leaves home unarmed................. :up: :up:

I don't worry to much about Obamacare and don't understand why any one 76 would. If your 76 you should already be on Medicare and not on Obamacare anyway. ...................jmho

Thanks for all the info guys, Still sounds like it is a Ponzi scheme of some kind.  I won't be investing my 5 dollars I have left for my Burger King trip for the double whoppers w/ Mushrooms............... :rofl: :rofl:

    I would gladly give up 1/3 of $500,000.00 from 1 company and 1/3 of $250,000.00 from the other if I can find a good enough attorney.

They did some major air drops of food and water and other supplies to all those people trapped on top of that mountain and are planning more. They sent in F-18's first to blow up a bunch if ISIS and clear a path for the C130s to drop the cargo on chutes. Then the F-18's hung around until they could get some drones in the area to protect the people while they retrieved the food and water. The drones are fully armed and will be there to protect the people indefinitely up on the mountain until someone with a brain cell working in DC can figure out a solution to this fine mess our Commander-n-Chief got us into by thinking ISIS was a Harmless bunch of thugs. Maybe someone in Washington DC will get a  brain cell out of neutral or coast mode and figure out a solution. I think someone made a similar conclusion about Al Quada also, Just a  bunch of harmless thugs!!!!!!!!!

Actually I didn't have Hell week when I quit. It was actually fairly easy and the only life style change was not emptying ash trays all over the house and just washing them and putting them in cabinet for company. I think that because my old dog stays close by and I made he a promise and I will not break a promise unless I am on my death bed that helps. It's like silent counseling just watch her facial expressions when I talk to her............. :rofl:  :rofl:  :up: 

That's exactly why I need a good lawyer. 33 years after being shot but still able to function a little and with limited capacity speak  they are going to declare his death a homicide. When My son had his auto accident I had a great Health insurance policy plus his auto insurance and both of them had Life insurance policies attached to them. My Son was in a coma almost 2 years and was in a stupor for the last two years and was never out of a doctors care and was classified as Terminal the night of the accident. He never spoke a work or was feed by mouth and was a Quad but because he didn't died until 4 years after the accident both Life Insurance companies refused to pay because he didn't died within a year of the accident. If they can charge Hinckley with Homicide 33years later for Brady's death now then my son Life Insurance Companies should have covered his death because he never recovered from the accident and was under the doctors care and was never released from medical care till he passed away................I didn't know better then but I think I got screwed and I still have the policies from both companies................ :rant:

Well, I hav   Well I have seen all the TV ads about these help stop smoking drugs and hell, the smoking and cigarettes are safer than the drugs are to try and stop. Smoking has never made me want to kill someone or myself but those Chantix drugs do........ :shrug: I thought if that's the best they got to offer, A promise to my old dog and a bit of Cold Turkey will do it for me. So far I'm not having any issues to speak of. I can be around other smokers and not a problem. Most of my friends that no I have quit will stop by and visit a few minutes but when they need to light up they either go out side or just leave. I'm trying my best to not turn into the Good Year Blimp in the process. I am drinking a ton of water but I don't guess that will hurt. My Doctor will be thrilled as long as I don't gain 50 lbs but she said the weight won't be as bad as the smoking but I have only gained 1.5 lbs to date and i think that is water........ :rofl:

Gotta sue and insurance company........................... :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Well, I do have my challenges at times but this pass quick. I thought one of my biggest challenges would be if a friend stopped by and fired one up and was smoking but surprisingly that was not even an issue at all. Morning coffee was, after a meal was. Pouring baits was, but in all honesty the hardest one is watching some person light one up on the television. One of my favorite programs is Deadliest Catch and those guys are all chain smokers and that show was tough to watch but it's over for the season now thank goodness......... :up: :up: :rofl:

Just curious if anyone here is using the Bitcoin programs and are they real or a Ponzi scheme?

Unless a politician can see a profit in it for them and then it will get done over night or possibly the same day............jmho

I still use the old flip phone to Mikey and my phone company hates me because when they started pushing all these Smart(dumb) phones I bought 5 identical flip phones and so far i have worn 1 out in last 3 years and cost me 10 bucks to have them turn on another one and move all my phone book over to it. I have no apps on it. I have this great big package of services I could be using right now that have been added to my original package over the past several years but bill remains the same because I don't use any of them. My Flip Phone will even take pictures but I won't let them turn it on so I can send them to people. I can take pictures. Just not send them to folks.......... :rock: I have a phone to do 5 things and 5 things only. Make calls, get calls, voice mail calls I miss, caller ID and Text messages. That's it. No Wifi, no internet, no this and no that. It's just a phone. Right now I have enough flip phones to out live me probably............... :rofl: :rofl: :up:

That was one of the issues I worked on religiously when I settled on the Bersa thunder as my carry gun was the placing of the first round because if the first round finds it's mark a second round may not be needed unless dealing with more than one perp. I worked very hard on making that first shot count from holster to target and I feel about 90% to 95% confident I can place the first round where it needs to be but going to do some more work on it since I was able to run up on a buy of 380 reloads a buddy had that he passed on to me at a really good price. I have shot his reloads for a couple years and he loads a great round........ :up:   

I was having similar issues with my Rugar LCP and a buddy of mine told me I was not gripping the gun hard enough allowing it to move in my hand. I went back to range a week later and gripped it like vise grips and went through 5 mags with no issues. Do't know if that may be your situation or not but just wanted to tell you what my issue was.............. :up: :up:

Well, if he survived I do hope next time he tries to do a selfie he uses a camera and not a gun but then maybe he was trying to commit suicide and selfie at same time................ :shrug: :shrug:

Well, I have been smoke free for 35 days as of today. I smoked for 57 years and didn't think I would ever quit. I had tried a few times and made it a few days is all. Ya'll are gonna laugh at how I did it to this point but it's the truth. My old dog goes every time the Jeep moves and about the 4th of July we had been out running errands and she was in back seat with paws and front half of her up front on console looking out front window and I had a/c running and noticed the jeep was kinda full of smoke from Cigarette I was smoking and I realized that my old dog was breathing all that secondary smoke all the time both in the jeep and house. I made her a promise I would quit smoking and on July 3rd at 9:45 at night before going to sleep I smoked my last cigarette. Have not had one since. Had 3 packs on table in kitchen and gave them to a guy that smokes that came by the house. Gathered up all my ash trays, rinsed them out, put them in dishwasher and washed them and put all but one up in a cabinet. Left one out for company that stops in that smokes. Every so often I catch myself reaching for shirt pocket but not as much as that first week.  I am beginning to be able to smell things I had not smelled in sometime.  Foods are beginning to taste different. Still will miss them like after a meal or especially with morning coffee but it is getting easier. I don't plan on losing this fight or breaking my promise to my old dog................ :up:  :up:  :up:
