INGO safety nazi types, hear this.
I took off early from work heading to the 1500. I always leave magazine in my car, keep my empty gun(with a red chamber flag plugged in) in my backpack.
as you know there's a clearing barrel right out of the gate and a big sign saying "no loaded guns".
I went in and laid my gun on the table so the IMPD can check it. at the same time, the guy at my left was doing the same thing only he had his holstered. right from the corner of my eye, I saw him un-holstered his 1911 and immediately, the IMPD cop started to yell at him "STOP, STOP Right There!!". I backed away from the table by instincts, and it took me couple seconds to realize what had just happened.
He had a loaded gun and trying to pull the slide WITH HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER, WHILE THE MUZZLE POINTING DOWN AT THE COP'S GUT. by this time the cop was mad, so were everybody around, I mean ∑TF!!!
finally he put the gun down and the cop took over, unloaded it, it had a full mag with 1 in the tube. after that, the cop actually hold the gun(with slide locked back) toward the guy and ask him "how do you feel about having a gun pointing at ya". considering the circumstances, I thought it's kinda cool. I guess lessons learned.
that cop deserves a cold one or a bunch tonight.
