What’s his point? WHAT is why we must bear arms?
is the joke that he’s overweight? Cause that’s a shite joke if so.
Do remember there’s the thing of “collateral damage” when you mock a wanker for something that nice friendly people also share as a trait.
Why do right wing people always assume liberals don’t have firearms?
Because unfortunately the majority who own firearms are on the right…
Thankfully the turnip has pushed to change that and way more on the left have been arming themselves.
Even moreso on the LGBTQ+ side.
Remember, armed minorities are harder to oppress.
They get all their informations from memes thats why.
I think sane people don’t talk about guns or make it their personality
I didn’t get my gun until after I stopped being a liberal, so that’s a data point.
What do you think is going to get him first: heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or a negligent discharge from waistband carrying a pistol which doesn’t have a manual safety?
In this case, the “safety” is the large flap of skin and fat covering the gun, making impossible to draw.
Wait no safety? I tought that was a legal requirement.
The “safety” is a secondary lever on the trigger.
Glocks having no safety is a misconception. Besides the drop safety and fire pin safety, there is a trigger safety (sometimes jokingly called a dingus) that you have to press before the trigger itself can be pulled. However, the safety is right on the trigger itself, where you can disengage the safety and pull the trigger in one motion. So I guess is where the reputation that Glocks have no safety comes from?
Having a safety generally speaking isn’t a legal requirement. Many revolvers, for example, doesn’t have a separate switch/button you have to toggle before you pull the trigger. The heavy force required to pull the (double action) trigger fully is deemed safe enough. If that’s safe enough for you or not is a personal judgement for yourself, but this has been the case for about a century. Most modern firearms do have a safety though.
Glocks have some internal safety mechanisms which make them drop-safe, and which makes it basically impossible for them to go off without fully pulling the trigger, but they don’t have a manual safety that you’d flip on and off with your thumb or whatever. The main point of a traditional manual safety is to keep the gun from firing while you’re carrying it, like if you were walking through the woods and a stray branch or something pokes your holster hard enough to move the trigger, for example, the safety would prevent the gun from firing. Or on some pistols (but definitely not all pistols), the manual safety will keep it from firing if you drop it. But with pistols like Glocks which are already drop-safe, modern hard-sided Kydex holsters have made a manual safety kind of redundant because they’re molded to the exact shape of the gun and they completely enclose the trigger guard to keep out anything that might accidentally move the trigger. It’s sort of like having a hard case for your gun right on your hip. So if you’re going to carry a pistol which doesn’t have a manual safety, Kydex holsters are pretty much the only way to go.
As for manual safeties being required by law, they definitely aren’t where I live. I’ve don’t recall ever seeing a Glock with a safety. But gun laws vary a lot from state to state. If you live somewhere like California it wouldn’t surprise me if a law like that existed there, but I doubt it would most other places.
If that discharged he would get the side of his belly caught in the slide and yaaaaargh that does not sound fun.
Nope, slide pressure isn’t much for a 9mm…hell even a 45 you can keep from pushing the slide back.
And he’s got plenty of weight behind that slide…
Now an ND might put a nice hole in his leg since he has no holster…
When you hear someone shot themselves with their gun, just picture this, the person trying to quick draw like some movie cowboy, and the safety not being engaged.
Glock’s nicknamed Atlas
It’s like the worst thought-off cosplay you can imagine, and a look into how exactly zero self-reflection looks like.
I get so confused trying to understand Americans’ version of “liberal”.
All I can tell is it’s just a slur both sides use on each other and no one knows what it means or wants to be one, in the land of liberty.
Liberals = Democrats
Conservatives = Republicans
Leftists generally don’t exist here, the only ones on the national stage are Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani, who are generally assumed to just be spicy liberals.
commie and socialist is used similar. i suspect they haven’t yet opened and read Das Kapital
Huh. Better retention on that holster than I would have thought.
Is it in a holster? Normally a holster would clip onto the belt or waistband in some way but I don’t see anything like that. I think this dude just shoved a gun in his pudge holster.
You laugh but that’s actually one really huge ab

If you can manage to grab it, just run. Cardiovascular disease will do the rest.
hell no. he would just end up crushing me >_<
I’m good, you keep it.
Can you reach it, though?
