Open carry guy gets gun yoinked

[Flopsweat]

OK, you're stupid...








...for carrying a SERPA.

It's OK, I won't effing shoot myself.

For those not in the loop (NSFW):

I REALLY hate to laugh at that. But I agonized with/for him plenty when I first saw it.
What a bummer for him. Bet he doesn't make that mistake again?

With my only SERPA my trigger finger does not end up inside the trigger guard when drawing, even if I continue pressing downward after hitting the release, so I'm comfortable with it. Plus my draw is a little slower than his. And of course, I index as soon as the catch releases.

If I gave even a quarter of a sh** I might put in a little more effort. But alas....I don't.

Not even half a rat's a$$?

Maybe a quarter.

Maybe a quarter.

Serpa? I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Everyone wants to preach gun safes, safe storage, cable locks, etc. We got people out there who can't even safely retain a firearm on their person. Plain stupidity. Open carry is just dumb as a private civilian.

I don't think the wild life when fishing or hiking are likely to yoink the gun out of my holster.

You really think I'm talking about being in the woods.... urban cities are full of animals (aka criminals). Let's use our heads here. Obviously the majority of us are going to open carry when we are out in the sticks. Let's keep the context of the situation in mind.

No, but tripping or snagging it on something might "kerplop" it to the bottom.

My woods carry is a .357 in a hip holster with a thumb snap. Hasn't been an issue yet and I do bump it on stuff all the time.

When I open carry ( a big Revolver), it's in a western/cowboy type holster with thumb break, so the chances of getting yoinked are slim to none.
Pretty much same with the drop leg 1911, that holster has a lock that holds the trigger loop, and it's release is impossible for someone to trip unless they knew exactly where and how to do it! These holsters are the gold standard in both retention and security, and ease of draw lightning quick, add to that, the 1911 also has a lanyard loop with lanyard attached, which means NOBODY is getting my gun away from me!

All of my open carry and woods carry holsters all have some form of retention beyond fit.

If they are, I claim the right to keep and arm bears.

Its the only time open carry seems relevant, I'm not doing in a truck stop. Your statement appeared generalized saying its dumb.

I lost all my guns at the bottom of a river anyways. Boating accidents happen when fishing.

Come to think of it, my bike carry holster is concealed and just fit retention, but it's usually under multiple layers and it's only a Glock, so...

My glock holster in the truck doesn't have retention over it, its essentially just a cupholder for the gun inside a cabinet. The one on the belt has one, but sometimes I leave it off.
