Now there's a person who has their priorities straight.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Delta Force personnel are called "Operators", and they are the qunitisential badass commando archetype. The military at large has started using "operator" as a coloqialism for any special operations guys. So when tactical cosplay chuds refer to themselves as "operators", is it stolen valor or cultural appropriation?

Maybe I just lack the TAC-OPS MINDSET but if someone has successfully taken my gun AND my knife I'm probably going to consider myself to be Heartily Owned and start considering cowering, negotiating and fleeing as options. Additional knives really just seem like I'd just be making more trouble for myself.

Just a thought, but if I carried a concealed weapon because I was afraid of someone shooting up the office, I'd keep loving quiet about it. Last thing I want is Bill from Accounting loading mags for AR-15 and thinking "Today's the day. Better start with Sunswipe, because that fucker never shuts up about how he's got three guns and a bulletproof briefcase."

Bolivar posted:I'm not American so I don't know poo poo about carrying weapons on a daily basis. Anyhow I was wondering, are you supposed to loosen those screws with a screwdriver whenever you get a sudden need for your gun? It’s a Kydex holster. Basically plastic formed in the shape of the gun, which bends slightly when you put pressure on it. The gun sits tightly under friction so it won’t fall out even if you hold it upside-down and shake it, but a hard tug will get it out. It’s the step below active retention holsters that require pressing buttons or rotating the gun a certain way to unlock it. The screws are for adjusting how tightly the holster fits the gun. Some also fit the belt loops with screws so you can replace them (like if your belt is too wide).

I went to find content to contribute and googled sad everyday carry, and Sebastian Gorka was suggested. These guys are all obsessed with guns and cigars aren't they? They all seem to have cigar cutters and matches on them. I like the slingshot and tactical fidget spinner. This person is clearly 15. That axe

People come up with all kinds of arcane rituals for lighting cigars with the right kind of wood or gently waving them at fire or something but honestly as long as you’re not using a Zippo it doesn’t matter. People will still carry around Porsche-branded cutters and lighters that cost upwards of a hundred bucks because ~class~ but any reasonably sharp object and a Bic will do just as well.

Seriously, those knives are the dumbest loving thing. Having like a leatherman or swiss army knife or something else utility-based is one thing, but most of these are designed specifically for combat. Well, as much as you can design something for "combat" when it's got like a 2" blade. What is even the point of that? You're already carrying a handgun, which tends to be more or less the most effective weapon you can get. What possible circumstance are you expecting where your gun doesn't do the trick but your lovely little tryhard knife makes the difference?
