Cuffed and Caged for Open Carry

[Madrevar]

I will post a picture later tonight, but the holster is actually for the specified firearm. It may look large because of the low hang, but thats because its a duty style holster. Starts low, ends low.

Everything is about options. I choose not to carry at work, for a small handfull of reasons, the biggest being I like my job, and replacing it would not be easy. If I were a delivery driver I would absolutely carry. You can more easily replace that job due to the qualifications (please, no offense meant, I'm simply stating that you don't need a four year degree to drive pizzas.) , and it is a much higher risk position than I have at my cushy desk, in my cushy chair typing my sensless posts on my cushy computer. I have driven deliveries before, (Long ago, in a state that doesn't allow carry) and it can be very intimidating. You are carrying cash, sometimes in pretty large amounts, and you are going to unknown locations where people are aware that you are carrying cash. And pizza for that matter! More than one driver got held up on the job at the place I worked, thankfully I wasn't one of them.

Carry when you want to carry, it is your right. Just be ready for the consequences, as it sounds like you are. Kudos to you sir.

The flag however, has to go.

The driver here is a hard working man. How do you know he don't have no college ed? He may not want a cushy job, with a cushy desk, sending sensless posts his boss is probably unaware of.
Perhaps he is happy with what he does.
That is his right.
THE FLAG STAYS.

My post was in relation to the job, not the poster, but you knew that so please refrain from putting words in my mouth. It is quite insulting. Fact is if you get fired from a job for carrying against company policy, it is much easier to get another job slinging pizzas, than it is to get a job at an establishment that requires a background check, full resume, a four year degree and a long list of references. Especially in this economy. Fact is I don't know if this is his full time job, or part time. I don't know if the guy has a PHD or a GED.

But you know all of this, and are just trying to start **** by putting words in my mouth and trying to get me on the defense. Once again, you aren't fooling anyone. If the original poster is insulted by my actions and statements, he can certainly let me know and we can work it out. Until then, stfu.


ETA of course the flag stays, It was a joke. = "Just giving you guff" but once again, you knew that too.

Probably the sooner you close your mouth the better. I can remember your previous posts where you were adamently against any comment which could be taken as racist. Now you are defending somebody's right to support the Confederacy like you have no possible recollection of your previous stance.

So people can be for the Confederacy, but racism is bad. Don't you think those two are generally percieved as very closely related?

I'd dig the old posts up, just to verify your (I would think) embarrassment, but you know what you are. Just here to rock the boat and see who you can piss off. Sadly you aren't real good at it. When your mother comes in to tell you its bed time, maybe we won't have to put up with you for a few hours at least. Don't forget to brush your teeth and wash behind the ears.

Plese define ILL FITTING HOLSTER, and where on earth did that come from??

Ill-fitting? The holster is big and bulky. There are references to the size of the holster throughout the thread. Just because it came with the gun doesn’t mean it fits. There is even a photo showing a relatively small handgun and a large holster on the Madrevar’s hip. Read the thread, it comes up several times.

I have the same holster. It fits the gun properly. It is not huge. It is not ill-fitting. We are not talking a field holster with a flap or a wooden box like a broomhandle Mauser. The thing that makes it a duty holster rather than a concealment holster is the way it attaches to the belt, which is a leather loop with a steel plate inside. The attachment places the holster low and a little bit out instead of close to the body. A loose shirt can cover it just fine.

Madrevar has been a good sport about all the ribbing... Even though his choice of carry may be slightly unconventional, he at least came here without a negative attitude towards his experience and was looking for objective feedback, which, to his credit, he has taken in stride.

Holy Defacation!!!!! What did I miss here??? All this in the time it takes to fire 500 rnds. 10 pages---gotta be a record. Shorts ? Sandals ? WTF ? My head hurts!

You didn't take any minimum maintenance roads did you?? My guess is they can be pretty soupy on a day like today and slow you down.

PM, incoming...

Glad to see you beat anorexia, BTW. ...I just saw that

DO YOU STAND AT THE URINAL LIKE SUPERMAN?

tt3,
I’m not saying that Madrevar misbehaved; if he did he would not have been released on good terms with LEO. It sounds as if he did an excellent job of “dealing with the man”.

To clarify my stance: It’s not a matter of being legal to dress in summer clothes while carrying a gun in an ill-fitting holster in full view during a Minnesota winter, of course it is legal. But, society fears strange looking people with guns walking the streets; someone will call the police. The police will respond to a man with a gun and incident reports will be generated. It makes more sense to avoid negative interactions with LEO. If the gentleman were more appropriately dressed and wearing his sidearm in a nice holster then folks in the restaurant may not have taken notice at all, or at the least, felt less threatened.

Good point. Looking already out of place getting more notice. Hey, here's something you'll rarely see on the internet, especially here on this site. I concede your point.

Thank you tt3,

It is rare indeed. I would like to extent my utmost respect and a warm handshake. Exemplary form.
