I am going to talk to this guy at the next American Legion meeting and get the full story, if he will talk. I have a 4" Model 66 that I can conceal easily in this weather. Somebody told me it's better not to leave brass with your fingerprints laying all over the ground. Take that for what it's worth. That is one reason why I don't carry a Glock. whelennut
Probably that idiot "instructor" of yours.

Your sporting wiffle balls? Seems kind of drafty, but to each his own, I guess. are you trying to cut down on weight? Or do you just like the way they whistle when you go fast?
An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
If you get sandbagged like that you are basically [bleep] unless you are a super hero. At an younger age I would go just about anywhere anytime. I am much more cautious and practical these days and I am still pretty "quick" on presentation and in the accuracy department. But, I can not run and would be easy to knock down. As luck would have it am still fairly alert to my surroundings though.

Almost without exception, in a situation like this unless the thug wannabes have a gun also, one hit to one of the attackers is all it takes to send the rest fleeing.
Don't count on it, the mob instinct is strong.

Mac, I have been and NRA RSO and pistol instructor for 45 years, I only teach CCW classes anymore but MY students will be SAFE and ACCURATE before I will give them the certificate. I strongly suggest they get some tactical training from a RECOGNIZED school.
So many of the idiots that have the NRA pistol instructor card only require a student to safely load and fire ONE shot, makes me sick to my stomach.

Where do you find these jewels of wisdom?
Have you ever considered cleaning the brass and wearing a pair of these while loading the magazine?
I ain't NEAR that paranoid, if I shoot it will be righteous or I won't have a gun in my hand.

Yep.
And his "expertise" came from 60's and 70's TV, movies and pulp.

i betcha i know something about MacKay. He probably lives with situational awareness, and threat preparation and assessement. I also would put money on the table in a restaurant probably doesn't sit where he can't see the entrance and have his back to the wall. Watch him prove me wrong.
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
That said, I am 100% a regular guy and sometimes lose situational awareness like everyone else. Skinny redheads in close proximity are like kryptonite for me!
A platoon of ISIS sponsored, self propelled pop up targets could stroll right by, and I would be absorbed with watching the redhead chick..
That said it is funny you mentioned seating. I am in Salmon Idaho and was reading campfire stuff on my phone and saw your post. It made me chuckle, as I had just sat down, and was waiting on my food.
I was seated so I could see both exit/entrances, and did not have anybody behind me.
That said, NOBODY is switched on all the time. Everybody gets engrossed with things while out in public and don't pay as much attention as they should. That is normal.
The flip side of that is that there are people that are 100% clueless 99+% of the time, and don't see things happening right in front of them.
I frequently see handoffs and drug deals in the parking lot of the grocery store, while people walk right past.
In fact in the past, while working with other detectives, we have done dope deals and takedowns in public places and have people stroll right by. They are totally clueless, zoned into their phones, or other things.
I have had people walk right by us, with a couple of us holding handguns in our hands,and have some thug in handcuffs, and people still don't even notice until a marked car arrives.
That is simply the world we live in.

Maybe
they use to show a video in cop training of an incident with a southern highway patrol officer. He stopped some 400pound pile of blubber, it escalated, he shot the guy multiple times with a .357magnum, didn't kill the guy, the guy killed him knicking a artery in his neck if i remember right with a .25acp. The magnum rounds didn't get past the blubber into the cns.
That was Trooper Mark Coates. He was killed by a smuggler with a .22 to the heart, via an armpit. If I recall right his vest stopped another or previous bullet. He shot the bad guy 5 (?) times in the chest with a .357. The guy recovered fully.

Since cell phones it's gotten worse.
A slim redhead will capture my attention every time
