If Daniels was carrying condition 3 and chose to defend himself with his gun there would have been no way he could have loaded a round to do so. I wonder if Foster is related to George Zimmerman? Seems like they both have the same mental illness.
:no: Absolutely untrue!
When I originally saw this story the first thought that crossed my mind was, '
How'd that, 'do gooder' get so close!' Maybe in your, 'internet gun forum world' your remark carries some weight; but, out in the real world with a gunman who knows what he's doing, C-3 carry would have worked. Besides, the victim of this attack is 62 years old AND, obviously, not all that sharp! I would hope that an elderly, slow reacting dude like him isn't walking around, playing at being a Glockeroo with a C-1 pistol in his belt. Clearly, he's not up to it!
As for you and your internet gun forum obsession with C-1 carry? You're like a, 'one note Charlie'. You think that the gun you're carrying is the best and only solution to each and every attack situation. IT'S NOT! You, also, need to think about the safety of others every bit as much as you obsess about your own. Whether or not to carry in C-1 is a matter of risk analysis - Risk analysis. C-1 carry is primarily useful to a gunman who anticipates being ambushed at extremely close quarters; and, even if this happens, THERE ARE STILL OTHER VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO DRAW AND FIRE.
I've been on the internet gun forums, now, for more than a decade. During this time I've frequently found internet gun forum advice to be as myopic and socially unconcerned as it is unrealistic - Strictly a matter of personal opinion with little, or no, real life experience or H2H SKILL to back it up. Why expose yourself, your family, and your friends to the risks of being around a C-1 pistol that, statistically speaking, you are never going to need? Even if you do need it - and, yes, it can happen - for the 1% of the time you might need a C-1 pistol, your family, and friends are going to be exposed to unnecessary risk 99% of the rest of the time. (The math is all wrong!)
Just because you're untrained, undisciplined, and inexperienced with C-3 carry doesn't mean that everyone else is, too. In my time I've known a lot of genuine, authentic gunmen. I remember several whom a thug would have been insane to cross - Whether or not these men were carrying anywhere on their bodies, or in whatever condition. C-1 carry seems to be the perfect solution for every, (one note) wannabe, internet gun forum tough guy who's out there! Most of these, '
It's only a brick' Glockeroos haven't ever been in a real world gunfight in their entire lives; but that doesn't stop them from loudly (and too often adamantly) voicing their, 'expert opinions' on how to carry an EDC pistol all across the internet!
Frankly, I find this sort of mental and emotional obtusion to be annoying; but, then again, I'm a realist; and I recognize the incredible strength of popular opinion! On the internet it really doesn't matter what's right, wrong, safest to all parties concerned, or dangerous to one's own self and the kids. For far too many people there's only one way to learn. I've had enough experience with your thoughts and opinions, now, to recognize that you're just one more of these internet gun forum Glockeroos. I would caution you, however, not to judge all men (all CQB pistol gunfighters) by your own personal standards. Some of us are, both, different and more heavily experienced than you; but, that's not going to change your mind; is it! :wink:
