Showing Original Post only (View all)A question for this group-- [View all]
It's hard to get a grasp on what people are doing, so I thought I'd ask--
I am wondering what is the general SOP for those carrying weapons.
Are weapons generally carried in a state where they are ready to fire by just pulling the trigger or are they kept in a state where the safety is on or something like it?
I have heard from some some coworkers that they are kept in a state of "pull trigger-fire"
Like you pull it out and it requires nothing but a trigger-pull to fire the weapon. No safety, no nothing.
Is this how some carry their weapons? If so, why?
I can't pretend to be a friend of this group-but I DO want to know what the standard is regarding this.
Thanks-BTW- i am busy , but will respond!

re you saying there should be limits regarding who carries what? Sure seems that way.
