At home the gun goes on the cabinet, when I'm out and about and absolutely can't wait until I get home, the gun goes in the seat of my pants after I pull them down.
I live 15 miles from the closest town, that town is another 8 - 10 miles from the sheriff's office in the big town and there in not even a chance of cell service here. Haven't seen a deputy or trooper in weeks even on the main road. We do have some theiving, trespassing, methicans close by so yeah, there is always a gun on me and another close by.
I've made no secret of my past on this blog, but what do know about anybody else's? It has nothing to do with our pasts, we're just making sure we've got a future.
I agree, Wirecutter. My mom is 74 years old and lives in a very rural part of East Tennessee. At best, the county sheriff can respond to her house in 30-45 minutes. Being armed isn’t paranoia, it’s common sense.
Based on y'alls past? You bet. I am 76, been to one war (1967), one riot (DC, April 1968) and a couple of county fairs. So, yeah, there's a gun within reach.
Pants on, gun on. If I am awake my pistol is in the holster, when I sleep it's in my quick access safe. I always know where it is and if it's safe. Who really thinks they will know when they will need it?
Do a lot of people get attacked in the loo?
ReplyDeleteChaireborne Rangers must be ready at all times
DeleteOr rural folks when there's not a cop within miles and miles. I have at least one gun within reach 24 hours a day.
DeleteSO true, our cops are at least 45 minutes away. My weapon(s) are less than second.
DeleteDitto Kenny, unless I'm in a nefarious gun free zone.

DeleteRight. When seconds count, cops are only minutes away. NEVER unarmed.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the "seat of the pants" thing and my pistol always ends up slipping down the pants leg when I do the toilet seat lean to wipe my ass.

ReplyDeleteI never understood an unloaded or locked up gun when you only have seconds to respond.
