Bad dream...

[OldFatGuy]

I have a surestrike laser ammo that I use in my CM40 at home for practice. I have targets set up around the place, varying distance, lighting, and stuff. So I'm always running around shooting things up. I had a dream last night where apparently I forgot to swap out the live ammo with the laser, and I shot up my place! I was arrested, and when I argued that it was my place and my stuff, they said something about me not being mentally stable! Sheesh. Then I woke up and was very thankful nothing was going on!

But it's your place and your stuff, why did they arrest you? Sounds like a damn nightmare to me, I'll probably have the same dream tonight and I don't have one of them laser dodads.

My place is full of holes. No biggie.

I had a buddy that would practice pistol drawing in front of a mirror. He accidentally shot that mirror three times. Fortunately no one hurt just his reflection.

He probably didn't use that mirror again!😜

What effect does that have on ones mothers back. I guess if you don't step on the crack she's ok?

man, I'm confused .... we have a fat guy getting arrested for shooting in his own back yard, another guy in a "holy" place, a mention of seven years of bad luck over the broken mirror thing, then stepping on the crack and breaking Mom's back.....


I'm not sure if I need another beer, or hit the cheap tequila ....

I'm still stumped on the mom's back thing.

surely if you're really an "old" fatguy you should know that if you step on the crack in the sidewalk you'll break your Mom's back .... ;)

I'm a 60 y/o fat guy, but I've never heard of that. I never paid attention to stuff like that.

[Bawanna]

You ain't old. I'm 60 and that ain't old........


And the crack in the sidewalk has been around since they invented dirt. Jocko was there.

Guess it depends on how you've lived. If you've lived a good life and taken care of yourself, you're not old. If you lived like me, well, it sure feels old!

[Bawanna]

Good point. I totally get the feel old part. Some days I feel 80, on good days I feel well 59 1/2.

Uhh.... sometimes bad dreams come true. You need to have a clear delineation between practice and carry. I did the same as you to practice SA/position/draw/shoot but the SA doesn't go away when carrying. When just walking through the house I saw a target and automatically reached for the loaded carry gun. I took the targets down and was thankful nobody got hurt. I wished for a range like setup for that practice but ours won't even allow a draw.

Yea, I get that. I've ingrained it to my brain that if it's in the holster, it's ready to go. So if it's loaded, it's in the holster, no questions asked.

Thats the same here. If it's loaded, its in the holster.

I have a similar pattern but its everything outside my man cave is loaded, and everything inside the man cave is NOT.
I leave my Cbob on top of my dresser out of the holster, the dresser is tall enough a child can't reach it and by the time they can reach it I'll have them indoctrinated.
My PM45 usually just stays in the ankle holster and is placed next to the Cbob.

If I leave one behind which is extremely rare I place it in a drawer of the same dresser under come clothes.

I've been playing a little rat patrol and on a few occasions I leave my CZ 452 next to the back door for quick easy access. There I leave the mag loaded but chamber empty. When I put it back in the man cave it gets unloaded.

I think the key is always stay consistent in your practices. Always the same, always routine, I shudder to say almost mindless but that's really the case.

When I clean my carry guns I usually leave the ammo on the same dresser, then take the gun to the man cave for cleaning, reload when it gets back to the dresser.

The only concern is I'm most vulnerable when I'm in the man cave with a bunch of empty guns?????
Usually wearing at least one though and there are some mags loaded and relatively handy but would still be time consuming.
