I think you've mixed the missionaries up. LDS == Mormon.


I can never keep them straight, plus that movie Orgasmo sticks in my head. (Such a funny movie)

Cool weather permitting, I carry a 4" 1911, IWB holster under a cover garment. Hot and muggy, then a Kahr PM9 in a DeSanti pocket holster in what I guess they call cargo type shorts.

Most here know that I am not a fan of open carry for many reasons, same as I am not a fan of shoulder holsters and cross draw holsters.

But I guess, to each their own. :|

Yup. Discussing the mechanics of open carry doesn't mean that one is endorsing -- nor condemning -- it.

I'm not an advocate of open carry, particularly, but I've looked around for reliable reports of "gun grabs", and I can't find any...They either happen very rarely, or are well-covered-up.


If consequences were of no consequence; I've always wondered what the expression of a cop would be if I pulled their Glock out of their level 1/2/3 retention holster while they're ignoring the people standing behind them at the gas station.

What part of no consequence didn't you understand? :lol: Many of the police officers I've seen have been fairly lax on watching who is in proximity to them, and within distance of their weapons. The plain clothes detectives generally do a much better job.

One of my LEO friend would argue they are trained in weapon retention.

In my opinion they put far more faith in that training and retention holsters than they should. Especially since simple vigilance would supplement both quite well.

i thought maybe you were refering to legal consequences :D of course you would have to hope someone informed the leo of the no consequences thing to.

I finally witnessed someone open carrying today while I was at The E.P Gander mountain. I was more interested in watching others to see if they even noticed that this person was open carrying.

Was it me? I was there at about 1:30. Black hair, beard, white shirt, tan cargo pants?
