I hope this wasn't an INGOer...

I had an unfortunate incident one time with a dropped mag. I was sitting in a coffee house listening to a comedian when the bar on the side of the folding chair pressed the mag release on my XD. Heard the *thunk* as the thing hit the hardwood floor. Picked it up, reinserted it, and was especially aware of my body position in that chair.

Now I normally use a holster that better protects the mag release, and still make sure I'm aware of body position in folding metal chairs.

Been there. Went shooting once, put SD ammo back in mags racked one in the pipe topped off mag with SD ammo and put it in ammo box instead of in my gun. Went to dinner after got home and relized I was rocking a single shot. Thought I lost my mag at dinner. Looked in car then thought maybe I'll check my range gear. Sure enough put it in my ammo box. Freaked me out and never again!

Revolvers don't have that problem, just sayin'

Another reason I don't do magazine safety

Some firearms will not allow the gun to fire with a magazine out. I know it is suppose to be a safety measure, but I disable it on any gun I own that has it. Magazine drops out, or a situation changes where you have to fire before inserting a new magazine I want that one bullet in the chamber to fire.

Maybe he's from California where open carry is legal as l long as the gun isn't loaded? I think that's their law if I understand it correctly.

One night I saw some guys outside my neighbors across the alley with a flashlight looking in his buildings. I was in my pj's and asked my wife to grab my pistol off the top of the safe for me. She did and handed it to me and I went walking over there to see what they were doing. I asked them what they were doing and they said the home owner had sent them over to find something so I walked back home. When I checked the gun I realized it had a mag in it but no ammo. We had been to the range earlier in the day and apparently I had neglected to reload it. Not sure why I didn't notice the weight difference.

I know you checked.... You touched it and checked it.

I always carry a second loaded firearm when I am at a public range, it goes to the targets with me. You never know!

I do the same, especially if I'm the only one at the range. And if I'm shooting a rifle and goin to the 100 yd line I'll take the rifle and a loaded mag (or a couple of rounds if it's a lever gun) with me.

I didn't take the pic, a buddy did. I'll have to ask if he stuck his finger in the orifice.

 

[vitamink]

If confirmed that he did, I'm going to need his contact information.

Looks sort of like a Ruger P89, might not have noticed the weight difference as those things are pretty heavy from the start.
Also, the mag release doesn't stick out past the grip face, it would have been hard to accidentally bump it.

Beretta 92?? Ive see worse OCing. At least his piece seems more secure.


Its also very possible he is a LEO. Just saying

This picture popped up on my facebook feed the other night. I almost posted it here on INGO. I think your police buddy is my dad's cousin... not sure what that makes him to me. Cousin once removed?

 

[BrewerGeorge]

I heard that they called out the bomb squad because a LOADED Glock magazine was found at a Wal-Mart restroom somewhere here in Indiana.

I've probably told this before, but in the early 90's I lost a spare magazine at a Red Lobster. The looks on the staff's faces when I went back the next day to try to find it were priceless. Never did find that thing.

Same reason most people open carry "HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME"

I WAS going to sell a rifle once to a guy that got of his car with TWO .50 Desert Eagles on his hips. We met in a parking lit and EVERYONE that went by was looking. I asked him to put them in his car, he declined, I told him rifle was no longer for sale.

You sure showed him. Friggin" open carriers with no mags in their guns! Attention whore bastages.

Beretta 92?? .....

Good eye. It's definitely hard to see.

Yep, if he's your dad's first cousin, he is your first cousin, once removed (by a generation). The cousin's kids and you are then second cousins. Your kids and their kids will be third cousins.

And you should all make sure you gun is loaded when you carry it.
