Make sure you keep that Glock in a holster, and DON'T "Mexican carry" it in your pants.

And be REAL careful holstering it...

As a Glock-head, i can agree with the first half. As a gun owner, I can agree with the second half. I would never "Mexican" carry my glock unless the tube was empty. I have back-pocket carried with an empty barrel before, but that's not my normal mode of operation.

It is except when cleaning or shooting. It is in a holster that has an internal retention system, so not straps. Unlike a cop, I won't need to reholster fast to continue the fight. When I reholster the fight will be over.

and DON'T "Mexican carry" it in your pants.

If I ever found a reason to "Mexican carry" it would be without a round in the pipe. I cannot imagine a scenario in which my pants rack the slide and then pull the trigger.

And be REAL careful holstering it...

The weapon is always safed before I holster it. Even if it wasn't, training and proper equipment keep this from being a problem.

I don't mean to sound caviler, but I know my weapon systems inside and out. That is why I carry one type of pistol, one type of shotgun and one type of rifle.

PS: I am going to need to order two more books as I offered one to fellow FReeper Allegra to take to Iraq with her as she leaves in a week or so to perform troop support via a "big company" in country.

A nice package of Safeway bacon will incapacitate any Allah-fearing Jaleel Jihad from a mile away. It comes in its own holster, and you don't have to worry about it if a stray strip hits Santa at the mall. The ultimate fire and forget anti-Islamist weapon.
