SA, retention holster, and an elbow to the head.

Not sure I am off this week , I will see if I can find out after I get back. My suspicion is that it is a 4 year old perhaps?

Agreed minimum level three. SA above all else. And you are right about the strong arm elbow.

Wasn't there an argument for open carrying that this never happens?

Perhaps this is INGO . None the less the facts are not yet fully known. So I will just stick with this guy must not have been paying any attention. I mean seriously level Orange at gas stations at all times. Not real complicated.

+1 for carrying a gun while in Memphis…always a good idea in that ****hole.

-1 for not keeping control of it.

I am hurt you would say something disparaging about that fine city! Well actually I believe the chief of police has openly stated do not come to Memphis unarmed so there is that.

Any bets on a Kel-tec in a sausage sack? Hi-point in a flip-flop?

No level of SA is going to prevent this sort of thing when you have to do things like stand in line at a c-store in the hood and do other routine human tasks in the wild.

Jackson’s claim to fame: Casey Jones lived there, Ed “Too Tall” Jones was from there, so was Carl Perkins.

Not very many people are going to walk around with a legit level 3 holster that aren't uniformed police. Hell I didn't even use a level 3 as an armored truck messenger. There's plenty of officers walking the street with level 1 and 2 holsters.

To each their own, just like magazine disconnects. Use what works for the individual.
