It was very nearly changed back to something more reasonable a few years ago.

I know. And thank you for your service, wether in the service or caring for them. Either way, thank you!

Here's my solution ... Yes it takes an extra step to access my Glock 27, .40cal sub-compact >> then again, I don't have to hide the weapon when I park my BS-BL and I don't feel a need to carry the gun. There is enough space for a full sized .40cal Glock in this setup.

It cost me $5 getting a used nylon holster at a gun show. I used three medium sized push-pins to secure the holster: one fastener at the bottom, and two on the side (Yes, a 90deg drill will help). The mag pouch is a convenient place to hang a small tactical knife and flashlight on. The weight of the gun makes it tilt away from the inner side of the compartment. Perfect for me!

I work on a military base, so I don't even keep my CPL anymore. If I leave home I'm almost always going to a gun free zone.

I recently retired from NB Kitsap MWR, so I completely understand. However, it’s still the bad guys that don’tfollow the rules. Those of us that abide by the rules/laws are not the problem.

Yes. I recently started training myself to use my dominant hand (right) after shooting leftie for over 30 years. Basically, it's been eye discipline. I'm actually a better shot now. Probably not because of the switch, but because of the eye discipline.

One of my daughters also has the cross eye dominant issue.

I've been a Firearms Instructor for the past fifteen years. I've had dozens of students with cross dominant eye issues. Quickest and easiest solution.... close an eye.

Check your history. Remember what happened at Fort Hood several years ago.

I'm a lefty who's right eye dominate, I outshot my brother in law and father in law at our last camping trip, and they're legit pretty good. I was pretty proud of myself, not gunna lie. Once you figure out how to compensate its not bad, just took a bit o practice.

The government very nearly did the right thing and allowed private firearms on base again, but the Navy is still very much against it.

I’m not sure why that might be beyond politics. Who honestly as a population would be more skilled & responsible with handling firearms than military people.

 

[Barry S.]

That's because you took the time to practice. Unfortunately most people don't.
As far as out shooting your in laws. You sure your wife didn't influence them? Just kidding..... couldn't help myself.

And I respect that view. To each their own.

For me, it’s a risk proposition. In Risk Analysis, it isn’t only the likely hood of an event happening that is taken into account. The impact also plays a part and can often outway the likelihood.

that’s how it works in business, how much more should that apply with life and safety?

Years ago I lived in a small town of 50,000 people. One of the lowest crime areas around. Then one night a guy came around impersonating a Sheriff's officer. Made an attempt to get in but decided I might be armed and left, never to return. Found out many years later he was the Golden State Rapist/Murderer when I saw his picture on TV.

Anyway, I just happened to have a gun on me when that incident happened at my house, something I almost never did at that point.

So after that, I did two things, I bought a security door for my house and started carrying inside my own house as well as wherever I went.

I've found I'm unable to predict when and where I might need one, so I carry everywhere.

Exactly. I had an encounter once like that in Painted Desert area of Las Vegas (arguably a lower crime area at the time... Even being part of LV). Had a young man come up saying he had something to sell me... at 9:30PM. To our front door....

I told him wasn't interested. He started trying to open the door so I got the S&W Wheelgun we had at the time and showed it to him through the glass on the door (as he was starting to pound on it, and as my wife called 911).

Turned out he and some of his buddies home invaded someone a few blocks over about an hour later. Didn't kill them (thankfully) but beat the craps out of them.

99% of the time, the bad guys (cowards usually) back away when they see a defensive device. Even if they have a gun.

I've got nylon holster with a steel clip that attaches to a magnet. Holds my Hellcat. Problem: I'm trying not drill holes so I've tried to attach the magnet to plastic on right side of driver seat with 2 sided tape. Have used 3M and Gorilla Tape and magnet keeps falling off. Unless someone has a better suggestion, I guess I'll have drill a couple of holes.

Put another magnet on the inside of the plastic and use the double sided tape on the outside magnet.

. I have the built in console safe in my outer banks, but in my opinion, it’s installed bass ackwards. Hinge in the front, combo to the rear is not ergonomic or easy to lock, unlock. This needs to be changed, Ford.
