Yes, I like to drive family crazy (mostly my wife) by pointing out unsafe gun handling by police and other "good guys" especially.

Sweeping a partner 1point
Sweeping a love interest 2 point
Finger on trigger double points
etc.

So ummm, if you get enough points can you cash them in and buy another gun without having to consult the wife/husband?

I like that one, and with your permission, I'm going to use it from now on.

fine by me but i can't claim credit. that came from my CHL instructor over at Marksman Indoor Range over off Highway 3 here in Houston. I thought it was cute though.

I can sometimes spot others that are carrying too. Look for the Hawaiian shirt! My 13 year old daughter knows this and starts laughing when she sees me or another Dad wearing one.

We are all "Gun Nuts" and proud of it!

ya, the movies drive me nuts now too. The last thing i spotted was in a shoot-out. The guy had emptied his magazine out of what looked like a Beretta 92. Then he turns and threatens someone else with the gun without reloading (slide catch is still holding the slide back). I remember thinking.... he's threatening them with an empty gun... Bad guys ran away though. Guess they didn't notice either.

I wear hawaiian shirts all the time and i'm not carrying. "It's a medical device" I've actually rationalized that now so that i can say that with a straight face. It could very well save my life one day. That makes it a medical device. :)

I had an interesting experience this morning that i couldn't help but laugh at and share with you folks.

In traffic this morning on 45 a guy on a motorcycle passed me. It was an off-duty cop on a civilian bike. I looked over at him as he passed me in his lane (speeding i might add) and said "nice, he's got a 1911".

then it occurred to me.. I can now spot a 1911 just by the bit sticking out of his holster as he went by. Two years ago, maybe even 1 year ago I would have thought, "nice shiney gun!".... now i can tell you it was a 1911 even without seeing the whole thing and at a distance of 5-7 feet with it driving by on the guy's hip. I thought to myself... man, i must be turning into a gun nut. (not that that's a bad thing)

have any of you had moments like this?
