      Democrat too?

      Rank and file members of political parties rarely look anything like those who hold office. Don't make the mistake of assuming all Democrats are Pelosis, and don't make the mistake of assuming all Republicans are Santorums.

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      I think it is just a local rule there, it isn't something that is DNR-wide. It's a confined trail so I think they just want to avoid any dog bites (not that my dog is a bite risk, he's had overwhelmingly positive experiences with people there which is why it really sucks that I can't bring him...

      Disturbing news about generation 4 Glocks!

      I did get the spring replaced in mine via the voluntary exchange recall - I haven't noticed a difference in handling. Maybe slightly more accurate? And that's a big maybe.

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      That was my assessment as well. The gun only came into the picture as an incidental issue; he was more just furious about the dog - literally everyone else in the past 4-5 months has been either neutral or happy to see him. He does need a little socialization though and has barked at people...

      Disturbing news about generation 4 Glocks!

      Exact same experience with mine, although with only ~250 rounds or so through it.

      He is an indoor dog for sure. :) Not to worry my SA will be higher than it even usually is for awhile.

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      That's just it, though, I didn't see him. I was looking for him, though, to make sure he wasn't going to try and follow me. He must have stayed far enough behind that he was hoping I wouldn't elude him. Dad was out mowing lawn and I went to talk to him about it so I think he saw me when he...

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      /shrug I don't wish him any ill will. He was out of line, and being an idiot, but he had reason to be upset about the dog in the first place. He just didn't handle it well, at all. And in retrospect I wish I would have just kept my mouth shut 100% and not said a single thing. I think me...

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      Yep. That's the goal. Nobody needs to get hurt no matter how out of line anybody gets. There's no reason for anything to ever escalate past just words.

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      I don't even know how he got that lol. My hand didn't even go NEAR my hip, I didn't want ANY misinterpretation of any actions. I didn't stay on the trail, just walked around the parking area to cool off (from the running, needed to let my heartrate drop), then left. Probably would have...

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      I did let the dispatcher I called know that he followed me home.
    13. T

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      Nope. He must have pulled out when I was almost to the end of the lane leading back to the DNR property. Probably saw which direction I turned from a distance, and there's not too many turn-offs or anything, so if he just kept following the road he would have seen where pulled in at home. I...

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      Well, don't say that too quick, what few things I said to him, I did yell back, and I was upset at this point because he kept following me and kept yelling, so I'm sure that emotional state came out when I was yelling back. Then again it would have been impossible for him to hear me over the...

      Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

      So, yeah. Been open carrying for about five months, had absolutely nothing but 100% positive experiences. People either make no deal about it whatsoever or are curious. But a negative incident was bound to happen sooner or later. I was out running on public DNR land with my dog. Some guy -...

      Open carrier is victim of strong arm robbery attempt

      I can see unchambered, but completely unloaded? I carry a plastic gun, so the weight difference is pretty significant if you don't have a loaded clip in, not to mention the distribution of the weight. It feels completely different. Adding 15 rounds of 180 grain .40 S&W adds a lot of weight to...

      Open carrier is victim of strong arm robbery attempt

      I carry mine in a Blackhawk SERPA. I've never been under the impression that it's just the absolute best thing out there, but it serves me well and I like how it draws. Serves my needs just fine. I may upgrade to something better down the road but right now there's just no pressing need. You...

      Holsters for Jogging

      I just wear my jeans and normal carry holster when jogging/running. /shrug Not the most comfortable thing ever but I've gotten used to it.

      Open carrier is victim of strong arm robbery attempt

      I'm always acutely aware of my right hip when I'm carrying, and especially anyone entering my "personal bubble" from that angle. You might think you could grab an OCer's weapon easily - I also bet that would be the last thing you'd ever grab for a vast majority of them. There are probably some...

      The Open Carry Argument

      I had those feelings when I first started OCing. They vanish in about 2-3 days. Of course I live pretty rural, the largest town I visit on a semi-regular basis has a population of less than 15,000 - it helps when other citizens don't have much of a reaction at all. Still, the only advice I...
