I don't understand why people are worried about handguns in cars. People actually put special mounts in their cars so they can reach the handgun if they need it.

I can assure you, I can pull it from my hip instantly. There are so many people that complain about this that there has to be some truth to it. I will not dispute that. But whatever truth that is, it does not apply to me.

I just got hooked up in that case when jumping out to help my buddy.. Holster mounted on my duty belt got snagged and that was that.. lesson learned.. ;)

Its good to see this mob of tactifool cowboys shut down !

“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

I love my country, but fear my government.

Walked into the bank the other day. Guy in civvies—no uniform— at the cashier, handing over money. Wearing a handgun in a thigh holster. Took a photo with the phone I was so surprised. Especially in WA! :-D

At my local pub a few years a couple of plain clothes detectives walked into the place, both with holstered handguns, to check the place out. Neither had visible ID. The publican asked them to go back to their car, lock their firearms away and return if they wanted to. When they baulked at his suggestion he immediately got on his phone to call the 'real police' to come and sort this out. They just smirked and said go ahead.

A uniformed Senior Sergeant promptly arrived and proceeded to give both of the detective constables (whom he obviously outranked) a thorough reaming out in front of all the regulars. I think he enjoyed it! He then apologised for this breach of protocol and assured us that both would be back in uniform within 24 hours. Arrogance gets you nowhere.

I bumped into a bloke in the petrol station today here in Melbourne sporting one, so they're about in more than one state.

(Clearly identified as "security" by his clothing, and driving the company branded car)

I did have a laugh though to see a bunch of about 30 zip ties sticking out of his pocket, which I assume (perhaps mistakenly) were intended to be used as restraints :lol:
