Another story. Feel free to share

[Scratch]

As dumb as the OP's story is, it was an accident, and hopefully will be learned from and not repeated. I must say however, that Scratch's story takes idiocy to a whole new level. Voluntarily exposing your weapon to a room full of people you may or may not know just so you can maintain your hard-earned reputation as "the moron who loves showing his awesome ass-tattoo to everyone anytime the word 'tattoo' is mentioned in public" seems beyond stupid.

While I firmly believe in and support the right to keep and bear arms, I also believe that it's a right that many people should voluntarily exclude themselves from exercising. Scratch, you sure sound like one of these folks. It comes with a lot of responsibility, and should not to be taken lightly.

It was a small family party less than 15 probably, and 3 of them I shoot with regularly, all but 2 of the people there knew I had, carried and sold guns, so I'm sure it wasn't a huge surprise I was carrying. Plus I was asked to show the tattoo... I thought I would rather try to cover the gun while dropping trou, than say no and risk everyone making a bid deal of why I wouldn't show it.

Luckliy I carry at 3 o'clock, so my hand can cover most of it when I drop. Yes I'm immature... but it'll happen again. Someday I'll grow up... maybe.

Paddle holster per chance?

John

I am curious as to what kind of holster mzdadoc was wearing. Maybe a holster with a metal clip?

i'm curious as to why anyone - ANYONE - would dump a loaded weapon in public, the presence of children and then publicize it on a public forum. a holstered gun is NOT a stepping stool... i'm flabbergasted...


1. this makes us look bad
2. how **** irrisponsible can you get? i mean accidents happen, but allowing a child to treat you as a jungle gym while strapped goes beyond dumb.
3. wow... simply wow...

this is exactly the gasoline that teh anti's beg for. no one loves to exploit the poor children more. did you make sure to get out the polish for the plattter before you posted this out in public?

dumb **** like this not only makes us look bad, but i'm amazed that someone's partent didn't move your nose to the side for you afterwards. if it was my kid i'd have a hard time not letting my temper get the better of me expressing my opinion to you over your actions. but then again - i'm a true humanitarian fueled by rainbows and whiskey. i'm more forgiving than most folks

get a clue
get off my side
i hope you think long and hard about the consequences of you actions.

Cobb my holster was a beretta IWB made and formed for the Nano. It is very much like a Crossbreed with metal strong sprung clips that went over my belt. I do appreciate the ones who suggested I get or try a better holster. I was under the impression that since is was made for my gun from the manufacturer in must be good. As far as making lite of it I am only because I can admit I'm not perfect. I was expecting intelligent people to maybe add their mistakes in a safe environment where there could be support and understanding but I was wrong. It fell out on accident get over it.
To shipyard get off your high horse and what is this "Side" you speak so highly???? I don't want to be there because you are so don't worry about me wanting to be "There"
So Shippy.... Can I call you Shippy????? The only man I know free of sin is just one and we won't go there.... A little hint it's NOT YOU!!!!! Do you drive a car or any other internally combustion engine operated vehicle? Prolly yes right? Have you ever gotten a ticket? Again I'm sure yes!!!
How dare you operate something so large that weighs thousands of pounds so carelessly!!! You need your nose rearranged!!!! I drive 60k miles a year and I'll make this clear stay off of my roads you are too careless!!!! I have a clean driving record do you?!
So to Shippy and anyone else on their high horse get over yourself I'm not perfect and either are YOU so when you sit at your computer pointing a finger focus on the three pointing at you because every time you point and judge with that pointed finger there will always be three pointed back at you!!!!!
I have no problem with your passion for carrying and gun sports in general as a matter of fact I applaud it but don't act holier then thou!!!! A mistake was made and yes I know I made it!!!! I'm 45 and you're not my dad so try to take it as it was intended which was simply "Boy I screwed up and felt like crap and awkward but thank God no one was hurt!" So I shared not to be scolded by you who seems to be perfect but to allow myself and others talk about the dumb things they've done where we can laugh now afterwords.....
If this was such a bad thing to post then the mediators should have deleted it right away!!!!
As a matter of fact I suggest this post and all replies be deleted and Shipyard if you feel so strongly against me I'm sure this forum gives you the option to block me and my posts feel free! I on the other hand will not block you because simply you may have something to say on various topics that I may gain knowledge and experience from.... Not this one but maybe some in the future...

He may have gotten a traffic violation before (I can't say for sure, and neither can you.....) but I'd bet he doesn't carelessly throw a loaded gun around when children are present by allowing a toddler to use it as a ladder. And if he did, I'd bet he wouldn't then make light of it on a public forum. He'd "prolly" (it's spelled "probably") feel like an ass for endangering the lives of everyone in the vacinity....... which would be the appropriate response of a reasonble, rational human being.

Just sayin'.

You need your nose rearranged!!!!

Before you start making irrational threats to long standing members of the forum, why don't you step back and cool down for a while.

Really? Resorting to public threats of physical violence? That seems like it would fall under the "Danger to self and others" category.

You should "prolly" rethink carrying a firearm.

Again, just sayin'.

[Heffay]

? The only man I know free of sin is just one and we won't go there.... A little hint it's NOT YOU!!!!!

We've already established that it's me. You don't have to be coy about who it is.

He was 'prolly' trying to be discreet, as he knows how modest you are.

As I posted In another thread slightly different situation. I had 2 of the 3 screws on Blackhawk Serpa holster work loose. I kept my right arm to my side to retain everything until I could get back to the car. Holster was a retention so even if it did a 180 the gun would still be contained in the holster.
I do believe someone had gun fall out in a recliner. Any help with link please.
I do take of who is near my weapon side.
I'll take this as a learning experience.

[old guy]

Aw get off his back, stuff happens. I play with the kids all the time under those conditions and never had an incident, but let me tell you about the time Ahh no I guess I won't tell you guys.

[Ron Burgundy]

Flame away if you must I'm flame retarded!!!!! LOL!!!!!

That might be funnier than you realize.

The thread should have ended here at the pinnacle; it's Everest!

[mzdadoc]

To clarify I wasn't making threats to rearrange his nose I was make reference to what he said I deserved in my situation. I'm not heated or hot headed at all I just don't like people to present themselves as perfect when we all are not.

Guess I am kinda surprised it happened, I would not consider that holster a bad choice. I personally have no experience with the Beretta holsters, I usually wear Brommeland, Bulman, TT, Sparks, etc., all leather holsters. But I would think on the same lines as you, the holster is formed and designed for your specific firearm and several manufactures make a very similar design, Cross-Breed, DeSanti, Galco, Comp-Tac among others. I know there can be a huge difference between manufactures, but I wouldn't think poorly of a Beretta holster unless someone can explain why they are inferior to a Cross-Breed or Galco.

[Paul]

Is this the holster?
