Re: Extermely un-nerving encounter.....

In Houston I'd have to recommend Blake's on Jeanetta for BBQ.

Re: Extermely un-nerving encounter.....

I don't think there is any reason to get all worked up.

Some people agreed with you.

Some people didn't agree with you.

I disagreed with you, I don't think I was disrespectful, and I tried to present a logical rationale for my disagreement.

Sorry if it offended you, and I hope it doesn't make you not want to post.

But just like brakes can fail on a car, or a fire starting in a car just sitting (not started) in a driveway, I have to allow for Murphy, and therefore I won't say "ain't never gonna happen unless the booger hook is on the bang switch" relative to a gun going off. I know the chance of discharge without finger on trigger is exceedingly small, but I still cannot say with finality that it will never happen. What if somehow the gun were to get partially dislodged from a nominally deformed holster. Then it subsequently gets shoved back into place except the deformity catches the trigger and bang goes the gun? Exceedingly small chance of it happening, but people get hit by lightning, too. Just sayin'
Sure they do. But normally nobody worries about getting struck by lightning when they are inside, which is a more apt comparison.

Remove the word "pocket" and you have exactly my point.

Re: Extermely un-nerving encounter.....

For those of you who have said it would make you uncomfortable, do you ever carry in a pocket holster?

Would you be uncomfortable sitting across the table from someone carrying in a pocket holster?

Why or why not?

Re: Extermely un-nerving encounter.....

If you are really concerned about a holstered gun "just going off" why would you walk around with a holstered gun in your pants all day?

I can understand the concerns over getting swept on a draw from a shoulder holster, but this seems an awful lot like refusing to walk through a parking lot because the parked cars might run you over.
