Re: Interesting Concealed Carry Rig for Ladies
I understand what you mean and to a large part agree, Excaliber.
I would add that our nation used to be more polite as a whole as well so that certain topics were not discussed, meaning what was discussed was typically within appropriate bounds for the place, context, and company already. That internal filter of whether something is appropriate and a worthwhile addition to the discussion is sadly and grossly lacking in the general public today where even the most base images and ideas are shared openly with every passerby. There is no societal value placed on discretion since the advent of social media.
Many of my friends have actually noted the obverse societal trend where freedom of speech, freedom of choice, etc is heralded as a driving value for many who then use it as a stick to pummel anyone who dares to disagree, thus using the excuse of freedom to silence any differing voices and the excuse of choice to remove all other options.
I agree with Crossfire in that it isn't for me, but I'm glad the option is out there and holsters specific to women are being actively pursued.

Did anyone notice that after the very first draw/fire, her gun had a FTF and she didn't notice and was looking down range while re-holstering. The camera cut away before the re-holster event so it wasn't obvious when or if she cleared the gun before replacing it.
These novelity gun videos fail to carry the message that guns must be respected at all times, not just after an incident when it may be too late. The camera angle in the later draws was dangerous also IMFMO.

I noticed that after my second viewing. I don't know why they didn't edit that out.fulano wrote:Did anyone notice that after the very first draw/fire, her gun had a FTF and she didn't notice and was looking down range while re-holstering.

Showed it to the fiance (5-00 105lbs) - I think we can take the idea and make it better. More on that later.

That is exactly what I thought; he was refering to the young woman not doing anything to cause a misfeed. This must be a Mars/Venus communication error.MasterOfNone wrote:I assume the highlighted was the offending line.

I would hate to think that I would be talked about like this should I be at a range with forum members.

Re: Interesting Concealed Carry Rig for Ladies
Forgive me for momentarily going off-topic, but I love it when someone uses and appreciates the depth and breadth of the English language. With this one post you have made my day! I know that sounds ridiculous, but I have listened to literally tens of thousands of people who had no grasp of the beauty that was once ensconced in "old" English.Excaliber wrote:...In a nation where free speech used to be a cherished right (a lot like RKBA), we are fast becoming a society of professional offendees who flinch, jump and lash out at any choice of language that wouldn't have been our own, regardless of innocuous intent.
...The alternative is vapid speech devoid of everything that makes it rich - a poor heritage to hand to our children.
