"Apparently this nut has never done any yard work. I use my machete all the time. I've tried lots of tools for certain jobs (like greenbriers) and nothing works as well as a good, sharp machete. But what about my axe? Isn't it dangerous too? And my hammer? And I heard that a lot of people were...
I walk two dogs, one leash in each hand. I live in a rural area so an encounter with wild animals is not out of the question. My flashlight is usually in my pocket, and my .45 is on my hip. I would shift the right hand leash to the left hand, and draw and fire as warranted. The flashlight would...
When my wife and I took our carry class, there was a lady that was approximately 70 yrs old that was shooting a .380 to qualify. After she shot her 50 rounds from various distances the instructor went up to her target and placed his hand over the heart area on the target. All the rounds fired...
Kleanbore, Yes I do have a valid Minnesota permit. Also I appreciate all of the discussion that this post has created. Very informative.
ClickClickD'oh, I too looked at the Oklahoma law and as near as I can tell, as long as I did not point it at them, make verbal threats or wave it around...
Two comments that I find interesting were from two former LEO's.
besafe2 basically said I was good to go.
scaatylobo basically said I would likely be arrested.
Much of the outcome would seem to depend on the thinking process of any officer responding to this type of situation. This does not...
Kleanbore, It is interesting that you posted this just now,as I just finished reading the stickies that you mentioned earlier. Correct me if I am wrong but everything was OK until I turned as I holstered my pistol. Had I kept everything out of sight It would have been the correct way to have...
"I looked but I couldn’t seem to find anything in Oklahoma law other than you can’t point a gun loaded or unloaded at another person unless you can justify self defense. By the OP’s own admission he couldn’t."
"Also if they had no bad intentions my holstering my weapon should have been of no...
@ leprechaun 50
"I stand by my last statement .
Since by YOUR OWN ADMISSION = you made sure they saw you HANDLING A LOADED FIREARM.
If explained to an LEO,that could have gotten you a night in jail.
The rest of the story was as I said it 'could' go.
If just seeing 2 men in a...
Kleanbore, Once holstered it was concealed by a sweatshirt. Also they didn't leave. they went half way down the exit, and waited while I walked my dogs, then followed me or several miles.
Kleanbore, Thanks for your reply. I understand that I shouldn't have allowed the pistol to be viewed by them, and this would have been possible, and I still could have armed myself. I always figure that I can learn to do things better.
Kleanbore, I respect your opinions as I have read many of your responses to other posts on a variety of subjects. Would you throw out a couple of hypothetical responses that you feel more appropriate to my situation?
Scaatylobo, Why should lawfully retrieving my pistol from the trunk and placing it in my holster get me arrested? I am legal to carry in Oklahoma, and at no time did I look directly at, or point my pistol at them. I removed it from its case and holstered it. I don't think that qualifies as...
Last Monday I was returning to Minnesota from a trip to Texas to pick up two rescue dogs. In Oklahoma,the dogs needed a pit stop so I pulled in to a "No Services" rest area. Long drive in and can't see the area from the road. I noticed a pickup with two guys in it pulled in and parked a fair...
