Do you clear your 1911 at night or leave it cocked & locked?

[The Heretic]

You need therapy.

I need a massage therapist

Massaging your therapist isn't acceptable behavior.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Depend on the therapist!

Only if you tell her about your mother first ... Or so I heard. LOL

I keep the 1911 in the safe empty and keep a Glock 17 condition 1. . But yes condition 1 for you 1911 guys. And not to seem biased but keep it in a holster haha

 

[Captain O]

sounds like your guns better all be in a safe that requires a light and a combination to open, before you go to sleep. That would be a completely unacceptable life for me.

A - yup!

No.

THink of it as a form of sleepwalking.

When I am asleep and dreaming, my body is not relatively "paralyzed" like most people. If I am scared enough in my dreams, I can kick or punch or do other things.

Everybody dreams they are doing things - right? Ever been in a fight in your dreams? Drive? Run? But your body doesn't actually move - you don't punch your bed or someone sleeping with you right? That is because your body has a switch that turns off its actions because it is supposed to in order to prevent you harming yourself or others.

Ever seen a dog run in its sleep?

That's me. Notice the dog biting something just after it gets up? It probably was dreaming of being chased by something.

Some people have a faulty switch to where they become afraid enough or angry enough in their dreams (nightmares), they can override that switch to one degree or another. Once they wake up they are fine. As they get older, they sometimes find that they do this more and more. Some people who never did this, find that when they get to to be a "senior citizen" they start doing it.

If I can manage to get out of bed, I wake up. It takes a supreme effort for me to get out of the bed while dreaming and that wakes me up.

Thanks for the explanation, Heretic! That sounds un fun. Once in my life I awakened with a .45 in my hand! A cocked and locked 1911 BTW. After that I cleared the chamber and placed it where I had to drop one foot to the floor to reach it.

Mines in an analog quick safe, chambered and extra mags. Hammer back to the first click and safety on.

I'd have to open the safe (2sec) and cock the hammer all the way but I prefer this too having to chamber a round where most failures happen.

I know I'll get one good round in.


There's always my pocket 9mm loaded and close by as well - SCCY CPX-2, no safety.

 

[Joe13]

Holy O batman!!!

There are two people in this thread on my ignore list and they agree with each other....

Big suprise, not really.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Sorry, I should have looked at the date.

I now have that person on ignore, but this is another common tactic of trolls so I should have been on the lookout. I am out of practice - it has been too long.

So many special and wonderful people on here, we have difficulty being dIks anymore!

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Whoa.... attempted lampicide!!

Um....we don't know that the lamp survived!

 

[The Heretic]

Um....we don't know that the lamp survived!

It survived. It has been kicked before and since.

I am glad too - this lamp has a history; it is a Currier and Ives print lamp that I bought for my now ex-wife 40 years ago. My ex, in a rare moment of clarity and charity, gave it back to me a few years ago.

*^^ this one!!!!

This be excellent to each other stuff makes it hard to get rid of the trash without the admin or mods stepping in and banning them outright.

The sword cuts both ways...

I guess the ignore button is the only option at this point.

 

[Libertas7]

It goes beyond stupidity and we aren't used to that on this forum.

I know, I know. I haven't been posting enough, sorry.

 

[Libertas7]

I need a massage therapist

Swedish? Or is that too main stream?

 

[The Heretic]

Deep deep tissue massage.

I have a messed up spine.

 

[Medic!]

All my 1911's are veterans and most likely suffer from PTSD.

For there and my protection I keep them unloaded. And locked in the safe at all times.

 

[Scott F]

People can chastise you all they like, but it is never worth risking the life of your child. All it would take is one careless moment on your part.

We have sik kids and my 1911 is condition 3 unless I am cleaning it. It rides all day on mu hip and rests all night on my night stand.



But then my baby of the six is 38.

 

[Mountainman38]

....It's not like I wake up naked in the backyard with linked .308 belts crisscrossed on my chest or anything.

Is there something wrong with that where you live?

 

[Dr_Lou]

My 1911s are always cocked and locked.
