Re: Concealed Handgun License??
 

The Nevada law allowing carrying in casinos was adopted in the past 5 years or so. Prior to that the casinos could prohibit it at their discretion. Despite the recent incident, I feel relatively safe within the confines of the casinos. Its on the way to the car and home that I sometimes get twitchy.

Canterbury is posted "no firearms" but not correctly in compliance with the law. Whether that matters or not is still up for debate in MN.

Of course, nobody in their right mind would let me near a slingshot, let alone a firearm, so mark me down as a "no."

You'll be hard pressed to find a casino in Las Vegas that's posted "no guns allowed".

Its posted at El Cortez, but thats probably necessary.

The guy probably had a Glock. They are notorious for discharging when holstered blind (without looking). "Glock leg" is the term for getting a bullet in your leg when holstering a loaded Glock. The retaining strap will sometimes get into the trigger guard. If you keep pushing while encountering resistance, the sucker goes off. No manual safety and double action makes it easy and quick as a defensive weapon, but dangerous for the negligent.

After the shooting in Tahoe and the maniac who shot up the people in the Tacoma mall a couple of weeks ago, I got to wondering. How many poker players have a concealed handgun license and are carrying while sitting at the table?

Dude. You know I'm like Al Friggin' Capone Friggin' Junior, right?

Of course, in the tradition of Dirty Harry (my hero [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), there's only one handgun worthy of bothering to have a concealed handgun permit for.

And that's what I carry. I keep it just in case my foot gets too sore from kicking well deserving mo-fo's in the nuts, and I have to "get serious about things." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

p.s. "the 44 magnum is the most powerful handgun ever made. It'll blow your head clean off"

Re: Concealed Handgun License??
 

So when the trigger gets pulled it goes off? Why would that be a Glock malfunction?

There are SOO many guns that don't have an external safety.

I was a Glock armorer years ago and I felt very confident in it's safety and accuracy.

I always asked myself if glock was so unsafe why are so many city, state, and federal government agencies carrying them?

I can also appreciate people feeling unsafe not having an external safety. I don't feel very comfortable carrying a single action gun cocked and locked. Although I do believe they're safe.

I've had a CCP for 6 or 7 years. I rarely carry though. My understanding is I couldn't even carry it to the casino and take it apart and leave it in my car. Because once I cross the levee (I play in Tunica) then I'm on federal property.

Re: Concealed Handgun License??
 

I never said it was a malfunction. Never said it wasn't safe either. Glock owners swear by them as simple and very effective (and quite accurate) handguns. Many PD's carry them, although quite a few carry Colt, Beretta, Browning, Kimber etc. You are probably more knowlegable than me, but I can't think of another semi that doesn't have at least one manual safety. There are only a couple of semis I'd carry cocked and locked..Browning Hi Power and a Colt 1911. Even then, it depends on circumstances.

I didn't make up the term Glock Leg. It's pretty well known, just google the term and see the hundreds of hits. It's an affliction even the police suffer with.

I don't doubt that there's a term called "Glock Leg". But I think you defined it as when a Glock goes off. Anyway I wasn't trying to be a jerk and I didn't really think you were being one either.

I'm sorry if I came across as one.

I've been kinda out of the gun buisness for a couple years now. Off the top of my head I can think of a few others that don't have an external manual safety. Kahr and I'm pretty sure Walther P99's don't. Don't laugh when I mention Kel-tek. They are low end but they're reliable.

Anyway the only real complaints I've heard about LE agencies having was the NYPD didn't like the 5.5 lb trigger pull. Glock has since made a "new york" trigger. I believe that's a 10-11lb trigger pull.
