Embarrassing CC/OC mishaps.

[yosemitesam]

Over the years I've talked to many people who carry everyday. Most were soldiers of mine as I enlisted at 17 before I even had the permit to carry. I'll start off with my one "oops" The week after I graduated basic I came home and dad got me a Kimber Eclipse in 10mm as a gift. I wore it proudly as I was home on 2 weeks HRAP. I made a trip to the mall and had to poop . I had a De Samtis IWB with no retention. I dropped trou with no issues. As I came to pull them up the weight of the pistol turned my belt over holster attached and my nice new Eclipse hit the floor and slid in to the stall next to me. There was a guy in there whom I'm sure was confused as to why there was a gun at his feet. I politely asked "could you kick that over?" His foot gave a soft nudge returning it to my stall. As I went to recover it he said "weapon retention, learn it" Feel free to share, talk smack, or both.

That is hilarious! I can't wait to read the spoof thread. Wait... IS this the spoof thread?

 

[yosemitesam]

Nope. I'm not here to spoof or play the popularity contest. I just want to see if there's any brains to pick here and decent people to shoot with

When I got my first semi-auto, a CZ 40, it was a newly introduced gun and there wasn't much in the way of holster selection. I also lived in a small town where there wasn't much of a gun store selection. Because I wanted to carry it so badly RIGHT NOW I bought a cheapy Uncle Mike's IWB holster to use until my custom from High Noon Holsters could arrive.

That holster was bulimic. It puked the gun out every chance it got. Occasionally it would just go AWOL and the cough itself and the gun out. I caught it before it came completely out while walking a few times, but it did wind up in the passenger side floorboard of my truck, holster and all, once before I gave up and went back to carrying my revolver until a good holster arrived.

A soldier of mine carried a glock 26 in his pocket. He also (like most soldiers) didn't own many civilian pants. The pocket liner in his jeans gave out one day while we were at the bar. It was fun seeing him catch it right at his knee cap and then try to play it off.

 

[Concerned Citizen]

Oh, I've had a few. Most recently, my neighbors were over, and my puppy got her ball stuck under the couch. I was carrying IWB 6:00 with a Crossbreed Super Tuck. I got on the ground to reach under the couch to get the ball, and while my head was down, my butt was up, my 9mm slipped out onto the carpet. Their 11 year old daughter said "is that a gun?"

They know I carry, and it was a good opportunity to share with their 11 year old.

While on deployment I was a temporary SAW gunner as the original operator was wounded and sent home . I felt the need to put a sling on it to let it hang on long foot patrols. We were out for 20 hours one day walking around. The sling worked itself loose just as I was walking into the COP to clear my weapon. I hasn't noticed so I cleared it and made my way through the motor pool. As I come down by the TOC my PL yells "sgt Rogers!" I turn and wave like a moron and my sling gives and the saw went crashing down right on top of the optic. Who got a statement of charges?!? ....this guy

How cool! You have your own soldiers!?

 

[yosemitesam]

Yeah they were under my leadership aka they are my soldier and I was their NCO.... It happens...I was a lot of people's soldier as I had a lot of higher ranking people above me... I mean really you can hold a grudge for me having an opinion but i prefer to agree to disagree and be civil

What "grudge"?
I was just playing off your words.

Lighten up Francis! You're in the wrong place if you can't take a little joking!

"weapon retention, learn it"

Sounds like a h*ll of a guy.

At least it wasn't someone who freaked out and went apesh*t.

Thank you for you service to this great country and for your honesty. I would call you Sir instead of Francis, but I'm not sure you like either so I will just call you friend.

You are a great addition to INGO and in the right place.

There is always a little truth in every joke. You can't always say what you want followed by I'm just joking as a free pass.
