317. Anytime a gun, loaded or not, is pointed at you there is cause for concern...

Tue Jul 23, 2013, 10:12 AM

Jul 2013

It's happened to me.

It strikes me as peculiar that someone with a holstered handgun can strike so much fear into others, even as that armed individual is accused of "fearful" and "paranoia." A gun so carried is pointing down and out of the hands of the bearer. Frankly, I worry more about traversing the busy parking lot of a grocery store than someone who is packing in the check-out line.

The hunter in question needs some safety lessons. Three yrs. ago, a hunting companion offered to show his SKS semi-auto. He removed the mag and handed it to me. I routinely worked the action and a live round flipped out into the guy's lap. And to think, he wanted to borrow my rifle since I had just taken a big buck, and he thought the weapon-type was the main reason why!
