No Dan even keep an empty chamber under the hammer, but in texas strong conditions I may need to reconsider that and add the weight lol.

Here's a link to youtube video that shows what can tragically happen if carrying chamber empty with a semi-auto. https://youtu.be/0FXHVjXPtJk

A gun that is not loaded is a threat to the possessor. A gun that is loaded can be a threat to everyone around.

Watch out, Bob.Â* That 2000 rounds is mighty heavy.Â* You might over gross
your ship!

What a surprise, just today my son brought me a great gift to fight off the flaming liberals at the gliderport. It is a Bulgarian AK47 with 2000 rounds of ammunition. Thank god that I raised this kid correctly, educated him and he achieved the status of a Structural Engineer, PE.
He advised me to be careful of the soft trigger, and he told me to take it with me at all times to fend off all the flaming liberals even at the gliderport. I told him not to worry, I carry two pistols in the 27 and Eileen has one in the 24. Nothing like a family of glider pilots being well prepared for the Flaming Liberals.
I was hoping to make plans to fly around Lake Okeechobee again this week, but the weather is not in my favor. I have never smelt anything better than Hoppy,s # 9 gun oil or flew better that a ASW. Bob

The flaming ones are easier to shoot in the dark but harder to keep the groups tight on account of they run at the first sign of trouble.

We were in Kaktovik (Barter Island on the Canadian border) I had forgotten my .44. There was a couple of Polar Bears milling around close by. My copilot carried a 9 mm. I asked him if he thought he could kill a Polar Bear with his 9 mm. He told me he didn’t need to he would just shoot me in the leg and stay ahead of me...



Now that's funny.

I was visiting a local friend and rancher when he showed me where a gator , said to be the largest that he has ever seen on the ranch had killed a 2 thousand pound breeder bull and drug it into a canal where it would wait for the meat to rot and eat.
I guess the bull never stood a chance, a gator can outrun a horse for about 40 yards. Another reason to carry protection while in the wilderness. Bob

When I was young, Gun control meant the ability and discipline to place rounds where you intended.

I stated flying XC 40 years ago in SoCal in hang gliders and now in sailplanes. I can't think of a time that I thought I needed a gun when I landed out. I don't care if you have a gun but wonder about your need to brag about it. Is that like the guys with the 4x4s with the big and stupid tires with small hands?
I also wonder about your need to have guns to defeat the "flaming" liberals at your gliderport. Can't beat them with ideas? We have both libs and cons where I fly, no guns needed. We all like beer.

Sounds like you missed the "ribbing" tone of the OP, designed specifically to get a reaction from folks.

In all seriousness though, the decision whether to carry a gun is a personal one. Fortunately I live in a state (MT) where we still have the freedom to make that choice, where it is not already made (not allowed to) by the government.

When someone brags about their assault weapons, ammo and fear of flaming liberals, I'm not sensing the humor. I'm sensing a person with issues.

I started to fly XC 30 years ago and have never even considered being armed in a glider, at a gliderport, or really anywhere for that matter. However, there was on time in a flying career that spans many thousands of hours over many types of aircraft that it might have been nice to have a gun, but I had the training and experience to be safe without one. Right at sunset, I had a NiCad battery run away in an MD520N helicopter in the backcountry. Had to do an E-landing in a deep ravine at sunset. Thought I was prepared for this and the biggest mistake of all was among the 5 flashlights I had on board, not a single one could shine white light!!!! I was grounded and the fire had been contained to just the battery box. Didn't really have an emergency so I didn't want to trip the ELT. I started stumbling around in the dark, very dark, trying to find a place I could get cell coverage. Started to think maybe not a good idea with such limited visibility. Took stock of where I was and started moving back toward the helicopter when I notice a large cat was paralleling my course. I stopped, it stopped and sat. I started walking, that cat started walking. The cat has built in night vision, and switch blades on the end of every finger. In addition a cat has cat like reflexes. Yeah, I was fully aware now. I stood as tall as I could with arms out walked on toes at a steady pace back to bird and when I had to turn my back to open the open my skin was crawling. I have always owned a domestic cat and I know when you turn your back that is when they bite. It all worked out and I bought an STC Gel Cell battery.
