Encounter with a STUPID CH licensee.
Today found me at the cigar store downtown. A sixty something customer at the counter reached in his front pocket for cash...which he carries in the same pocket as has handgun. So of course he removed the little blaster and placed it on the counter, muzzling the clerk's midsection. He made his purchase and returned the gun to his pocket.
Casually as possible, I engaged him in conversation about all that, after a hello and handshake. I won't go into the details, it's just frustrating as all get out to think of him as "one of us".
He's an unteachable idiot. Hopefully if (when) the negligent discharge occurs, it will be into his own leg rather than someone else's torso.

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

And before anyone asks, hell no, he didn't have that cheap little gun in a pocket liner rig.

Re: Encounter with a STUPID CH licensee.
That is all bad. Brandishing, muzzling, no holster, multiple items in the pocket...laws broken and no common sense.
Luckily for those around him, the trigger is usually inadvertently pulled when someone like that is digging around in the pocket or trying to pull it out, and the other items get caught in the trigger. Kind of bright spot in a sad story.

PS Maybe we are lucky he is one of those than carries with an empty chamber? Two wrongs do make right in that case.

We could be that lucky. Thought about asking him that but figured he'd fish out the gun to show me yea or nay, rather than just verbally respond.

Mr. Stupid is lucky the clerk behind the counter didn't pull out a gun and shoot his butt.

Re: Encounter with a STUPID CH licensee.
I talked to the employee later. He knows this customer and has seen that act before, apparently. Mr. Stupid is a cabbie/Uber driver, so I understand why he carries. I just virulently disagree with HOW he carries.qmti wrote:Mr. Stupid is lucky the clerk behind the counter didn't pull out a gun and shoot his butt.
Yeah, I realize that Uber would fire the dude, if they knew. Maybe the taxi company too.
Lot of stupidity at play here. Like watching a Democrat POTUS candidates debate, sorta.

I conversed with the worker later. He knows this client and has seen that demonstration previously, clearly. Mr. Idiotic is a cabbie/Uber driver, so I comprehend why he conveys. I just destructively can't help contradicting HOW he conveys.

Carrying without a holster used to be common before CCL was passed. Saw many of the old guys at work with a .38 stuck in their front pants pocket. That was back in the late 70s, early 80s mostly.

Re: Encounter with a STUPID CH licensee.
I fear an inept CHL'er more than a random act of violence these days. Gun shops patrons and public ranges are more sketchy than ever. Well, since 1987 for me.
