Old Ironmaker Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 We are down to sis in laws in St. Louis. The strangest thing I have seen for a very long time is the number of people openly carrying guns on them in public places, grocery stores to restaurants. We were out on the town last night and saw a man with an AR 15 slung over his shoulder walking his dog. Just strange for us to see. It really frightened my wife to see this. It's the way it is. Off to a Riverboat Casino cruise. Should be fun, if I don't loose my shirt. This is just an observation in the cultural differences we have from some US places, no need to become political in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 The day I need to carry a gun with me out in public in order to feel safe is the day I move. I don't quite get it to be honest. I'm sure some carry for their own protection and I'm sure some just do it because they wanna feel like billy badass. Enjoy the casino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'd carry a handgun in a moment if the law would allow it But I have zero issues with people not agreeing with that An AR 15 is kinda excessive though IMO That would be weird to see(for me at least) But if it's lawful then it's lawful. I have zero issues with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Think it was Col. Jeff Cooper that said " if you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck " an AR trumps a Glock any day. Even in close quarters? Big, fat pistol round has lots of stopping power in close quarters and the pistol is a lot faster to get into firing position.

aplumma Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 less than 10 feet pistol wins. Over 10ft rifle wins. I have a CC for pistol but rarely carry unless I am carrying valuables. In fact I am heading out back to shoot with a few friends at the range we have set up on the back of my property. Practice makes perfect.

Spanky80 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'd carry at all times if allowed. How we ever got to the point in this country where we cannot protect ourselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Wheres the real armor Art? LOL There are a few others in the armory but I have a feeling it might not be in my best interests to post pictures of them. It is kind of obscene when we have the right group of friends over who really collect weapons. it is kind of neat when you get a call from a friend who asks you if you want to come over and shoot a Civil War cannon. The thing is all of them are nice normal people who just enjoy the competition of shooting same as some enjoy golf. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebird Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'd be carrying also. In fact I used to have a carry permit for in the bush,carried a S&W 629 44mag, loaded with 280gr A frames for bear. It's expired now and I haven't kept it up.

Old Ironmaker Posted August 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Well I lost 500 USD on the boat but my wife won 600 bucks. So I'm down 500 and she's going shopping tomorrow. Our sis is lobbying us to move there. No way, no how. They report shootings here on the news like we report the local weather. I'll just stay home in expensive, over taxed, no gun protection boring old Ontario. I actually can't wait until we get home to tell you the truth. And we could live very well on my meager Canadian dollar pension. A 4 bed 2 bath home with a pool in the burbs is around 250 CDN. I thought south Florida was bad at dark when we were had a place there 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'd carry all the time. I'm used to it already. But then again most places I go I feel completely safe because I'm always aware of my surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
