If she did, she would also had forgotten to put a magazine first of all.
Btw, don't they teach how to use fire weapons before they let them loose in the streets?
Does anyone have a favorite weapon ...if so why..?

Yes, but many at the time had ben trained on the much simpler, reliable revolver. Than you have to go through training to carry an auto loader, but they let you start carrying it until you get the training. The scary thing is this person had been working for several months carrying that weapon that she thought would fire if she pulled the trigger. For the record that was a federal agency, and California agencies in general would not allow you to carry a weapon you had not fully qualified with. They even make you qualify with "off duty" weapons.

Damn scary training proceedures if you ask me, letting people wander around with weapons they aren't trained to use, especially guns.
But, I don't do political debate on-line anymore, only ever ends up an argument, so I'll say no more about it :asian:

most folks shouldn't be allowed near a firearm of any sort, much less an clip fed. My Glock is olden days. Has 15 rounds per magazine... 15 chances to wreak havoc galore in the hand of some people out there. Almost gives me the cold shakes.
It will be most interesting to see how this concealed carry weapon thang shakes out here in Billy-Bob land.
RE: Glock Safety... There are 2 seperate actions that have to happen in the gun before it will fire, after the trigger is pulled. I've seen the Glock dropped from a scootin' along helicopter from about 100 feet up. The gun hit the runway and bounced a number of times. The chopper landed, the rep got out, picked up the Glock and dropped 15 rounds into a target... Reliable and safe within the confines of the gun education. Like I said, I like the Smitty, but I'll stick with my comfort zone.
Actually, I would like to have the S&W .50 caliber, but there's no one around who is big enough to warran that purchase. :lol:

GD7,
Be careful - " Lil' Cupcake" is into the steel fans.................
BTW-She REALLY enjoyed chatting with on your last trip up to HillyBilly land.
Me, anything at hand, is better than busting, a hand. :erg:
You've seen some of my toys, like the Tom Kier custom Kerambit,
"Mikeys" seen some of the others in the Dungeon, or at work
.
Of course I'm not trained with them, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night................

As of right know I can not chose between the K-bar (combat knife) or Kukari (short sword). They are both really similar in how they are used. They use many of the same patters for slashes and thrusts. ANd when you pull them out of the opponent you twist the handle for two reason. If you thruse and they move you kan still catch them with a slash. And if the knife is in them it will widen the hole and make the injury more servere. Good Stuff .
I have to agree that iron fans are a little too girly don't mean to be mean.

I believe there is an anecdote on a Parker Memorial website mentioning that a person saw Mr. Parker carrying a gun. When he asked him why, thinking that martial arts should be enough, Mr. Parker was said to have replied while holding his hands out, "These hands don't work from ten(?) feet out."
I'm not sure if I am remembering that correctly. I may be off on the exact quote and the distance. Perhaps Mr. C knows of the story better and may shed more light on it. He was the one who directed me to the memorial website some time ago.

GD7, thank you for the URL to that website again!
Klondike, Mr. Parker wrote a book on nunchakus. There also are other anecdotes on that same website showing Mr. Parker handling different weapons. I think the story of him in the kitchen with the knives is funny!

There's a story on there about SGM Parker playing with all the knives in Master Rose's drawer one evening as well, so I guess he was a fan of the blade too

All my favorite weapons progressively became illegal in Massachusetts as the years went by: Nunchakus, sai, yawara stick, whip chain, and a double edged knife. We practiced our Nunchaku techniques with an obi in the 1970s after they were outlawed.
Now with the Democratic National Convention being held in Boston at the end of July, and all the police starting already to pour into Boston checking bags and everything, don't even get caught with a pair of fingernail clippers or they will be construed as a lethal weapon.

I've always loved chinese pole arms (especially the spear and kwan dao)
I also like the katana, for it's functuality
the butterfly knives of wing chun, for speed
and the deer horn knives of Ba Gua, just for looking sweet.
