BUMP

Same level of intellect as "Boss Hogg"

they say a man who can make a woman laugh can maintain the relationship. Don't know how I've kept my dear wife for 20 years, she does NOT get my sense of humor. See @gregintenn's idea, Mrs does get a kick out of that. Otherwise, show her every day that you love her and she's the most important thing in your life.

I'm sick to death of Giffords view of state's gun laws. Quote all of their line on the news and fail to mention Maine has flag laws and he was know to be mentally unstable. It's the lack of gun control laws that is the cause of this. Maine gets a B in gun laws and an F- in follow through. THERE! put that s#!t on the news.

the anti gunners will use this for years. news cycle will probably be lengthened in light of the current administration foaming at the mouth over ARs

you can't offend me, I held a flashlight for my dad

Suspenders might just be a good answer.

Lubys and Texas were sued many years back for that reason. Woman claimed she lost both parents because she was forced to leave her pistol in the car.

I cannot remember the TCA number, I'd have to look at the sign again. But I do believe it's a felony, and loss of right to own firearms goes with it. I would not want to be caught in a gun free building. Originally, there were conditions that had to be met before one could ban weapons on business property. Security, metal detectors, etc, but this was dropped. I have mixed feelings on this. I agree with property or business owners having the right to set rules but that gets into a gray area, what if the owner is a bigot? I just don't patronize businesses that post or publicly state firearms are unwelcome. Hell, I hate using walmart because of their stance on guns.

have not tried these. I tend to stay away from universal holsters. but this one is popping up on my accounts. Praetorian Holster - best holster for seated draws (dinosaurized.com) 39.99 each to save you some time on this.

Don't believe I have ever bought a belt at walmart. not all of my belts are gunbelts true, but all are quality leather. the belt is not my problem LOL. After losing 30 lbs I'm still fat and have two new belts that are too large. Still have issues with too much belly and a full size pistol makes it worse.

Yep, my sling bag has extra AR mags and is way too heavy for EDC. And it SCREAMS tactical bag,,,mainly because it is. For EDC i am thinking something smaller, maybe even a belt bag. Bigger than a phone case but smaller than a tablet bag. Something just big enough for a full sized pistol, wallet, and normal pocket stuff. It needs to be useful for pistol without saying "I'm a ho;ster". If I find a design I like I'll post it once it's done.

That's something I hadn't thought of. Good idea! I don't know if I could wear one all day though most would have no problem.

I work with a man who wears a belt and suspenders, always found that odd myself. not knocking suspenders, never tried them. If my pants or shorts have belt loops, I'm wearing a belt. Overalls with and inside the bib holster attachment has crossed my mind more than once, but I could carry a S&W 29 in the front pocket so really not necessary. To be fair, I don't wear sweats or coaches shorts out anywhere so I always have a belt on when I'm out. To me, a belly band would be the best in that instance though. Had to wear a hernia wrap after surgery and I don't think it would be comfortable, so back to fanny pack. LOL

So how we carry with our American male physique has come up in another thread. I'm older and have a big belly and noassatol syndrome. Belts are extremely important. I've seen a youtuber advocating holsters that can be used in sweatpants with no belt. This is laughable, even when I was young and had a waist, any pistol I would consider for daily carry would drop sweats to the floor before I got across the room I'm sure. Even the 9oz plus ammo Browning 25 would pull my sweats down now. I applaud the return of the fanny pack to service but I wouldn't want to use that now. I have the idea to build myself a medium size cross body bag. Even looked at several patterns from my favorite pattern sellers. nothing has made the cut yet but I do see a few that could be modded to work. I have also considered wearing a vest made for CCW with the holster pocket inside. With a lighter pistol this could work but having to unzip a pocket then draw would be a hinderance that could cost a life. The cross body I have in my head would not have a zippered pocket for the holster. We will see what I can come up with. The belt I have in mind (and cut) will be two layers of 5-6 ounce with a third, narrower, layer used as stiffener. Just have to get situated where I can finish it. I built my first shoulder rig for another customer who is very large. I think this is a great way to carry if you can wear a cover garment. But it has to fit right. I am told they are uncomfortable but I think it's the best way to carry a full size handgun. I know we have delved into this before but hey, all things come around again.

beautiful piece. Nice score, congratulations! And nice work restoring the wood.

I used to hunt geese with a bolt action 12. Mossberg built mine for Sears or Western Auto. I have a soft spot for them. GLWS The soft spot is in my right shoulder, damned thing had some serious recoil

If KyleB doesn't take it, I'll send you a message.

I've had to reign myself in several times on this thread. And I am usually quite free with my opinions. Civil discussion with people who do not know me requires restraint. But I have mostly enjoyed this and learned a few things. I believe we should all pray for the days to come.

the problem is the truth that is surrounded by fiction. Pure fiction is harmless.

I am quite convinced that you are right on this one.
