I’ve seen that holster and frankly its a shitty holster. The purpose of a holster is to reduce the risk of accidental discharge but it seems to be designed to increase the risk of accidental discharge when you try to put the gun back in the holster. With that said, it is mostly designed to shoot a hole in your off hand boob not your eye. On the other hand you can hide a full size revolver in there if your boobs are big enough.
Responding on the assumption this is a joke ('cause one would have to be fairly in the dark to believe that the average British cop carries a firearm (or, in Germany, that it’s commonplace for anything but the federal border cops). Actually, we’re lucky that most cops (like most humans) are lousy shots (at least beyond 10 feet), otherwise there’d presumably be *lots *more dead or seriously injured folk.
This seems a bit slug-headed: t-shirts with a photorealistic gun-in-shoulder-holster image to allow you to show your support for open carry. Or to take part in target practice.
This is an example of something only a white person could get away with wearing. It’s a suicide shirt for anyone else.
Somehow, that reminds me of that scene from The President’s Analyst
*Hey, Dad. You want the Magnum .357 in the house?
Darn it, Bing. I told you not to play around with my guns. No, I do not want that in the house. That is my car gun. My house gun is already in the house. Now, put that back in the glove compartment, and don’t let me catch you fooling with my guns again.*
Excellent point.
Gunman in rural southern Missouri kills seven, then himself.
Details are still sketchy, but it appears the shooter’s mother died of an illness in her home. Soon after that, the shooter killed several people in nearby houses.
Is this getting old yet?
[quote=“[(Raw Story) 3-year-old’s Accidental Suicide]
(http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/texas-3-year-old-dies-after-shooting-himself-in-head-with-gun-he-found-in-mothers-purse/ )”] 3-year-old boy died yesterday after having shot himself in the head in what police are deeming an accidental shooting… According to KHOU, the gun was in the boy’s mother purse, which had been placed on a shelf. The boy’s mother was in another part of the house, but when she heard the gun go off, she rushed in and found her son with a gunshot wound to the neck and jaw. The boy was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital at the Texas Medical Center, where he later died.
Neighbor Richard Gilliam told the Chronicle that “it’s just heart-wrenching” … Another neighbor, Sonora Storm, told KHOU … “I’m thinking how horrible it is for a child that young to have access to a gun. You don’t want to blame the parents, by any means, but if I had a 3-year-old child in the house, there wouldn’t be a gun.”

I’ve seen a two-year old move a sofa to get at a dust-covered lollipop behind it. And people still think on a shelf is inaccessible. If there are kids in the house, the gun belongs on your person or in a safe. Period.
On a slightly related note, accidents of all kinds are now the third leading cause of death: http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/294305001.html
No.
Among Americans who have their constipated fetish for guns, and perverse Know-Nothing fasination with the Second Amendment, there are three types:
(1) Those who haven’t read this thread,
(2) Those who are incurably stupid,
(and (3) those who are both of the above).

Yeah, I’ve seen that and it made me wince that anyone could be that stupid. I suppose God must have wanted him to live so hopefully he’s learned his lesson.
“Gun Nuts’”. “trigger happy”. Is Salon.com just the teensiest bit scornful of conservative values? :dubious:
So far at least the sky hasn’t fallen in the states that permitted it already. My guess is that people who were going to carry illegally were already doing so, and dropping the permit requirement will do little but spare gun owners some paperwork.
Here a man open carrying on Xmas Eve is arrested for carrying a concealed weapon because the cop didn’t see the gun on his first pass of the guy 15 minutes before. They hold him over Christmas Day and release him on the 26th without charging him and effectively fucking up his Christmas. The man begins his civil suit and only then do they decide to charge which then puts his civil case on hold. The judge acquits him because the case is BS.
It’s an interesting idea to look at the practical differences. There’s screening at purchase of the handgun if done legally. How effective is a screen for CCW permit in a will issue state without additional requirements (like mandatory training). I can’t see many applicants being caught and rejected because of it. I wonder what Kansas’ rejection rate was.
