ONE OF your girlfriends? Just how many do you have
well, that's more a topic for discussion elsewhere, shoot me a PM if you want the whole story.
i really tend to avoid the term "girlfriend" in general because it's so clumsy and limiting. i have a number of special (and some very special) people in my life, all of whom know of each other... and some who know each other more or less directly.
I wear a pair of black leather tactical gloves
that's what i searched for online today. i wound up having over a dozen tabs open in Firefox and was slowly, selectively closing them as i whittled down my choices. in the end, i went with "PeaceMaker" gloves from BlackHawk...
http://www.opticsplanet.net/blackhawk-hellstorm-peacemaker-duty-driving-shooting-glove.htmlI bought mine at Galls.com years ago. In fact, I'm due for a new pair from Santa!
i started my search at Galls and actually was going to make a purchase through them, when at the last second i decided to run my chosen item through Google... wouldn't you know that OpticsPlanet (linked above) had them for about a third less cost ($10 cheaper), offered much better shipping, and accepted PayPal... hooray for the intertubes and the wonderful data that they contain. best of luck getting a new pair should you need them soon... if santa doesn't come through for you, i may have to ask if i can send you some, in thanks for all the great advice and for being so welcoming to me on the forums.
make sure you check the laws of where you're carrying your pepper spray. I carried it back in the day, and now, I just dont. I'm trying to remember the list of towns that have an issue with Joe Citizen carrying it. Regardless of your CCW.
i won't outright say something publicly on the forums that could either get the boards here in trouble or possibly be used against me in court later, but i will assert that in this day and age, most folk i know would not really care enough about the pepper spray laws when viewed on balance of protection vs. penalty. you're probably looking at a misdemeanor charge, if it even gets to court, versus an assault taking place. personally, i am disgusted by any location that restricts pepper spray. so often, the places you most need it are places that try to mess with the laws. Each time i am in Amsterdam, i
allegedly always have it with me, and the Dutch laws are
much more strict on that point than any i've seen in the states.
And... practice practice practice. Bundle yourself up, go outside and get FROZEN ... Same with the pepper spray if you choose to carry it. Try it with various types of gloves, etc
indeed! at an outdoor range one day, folk looked at me a bit funny when i poured some water over my hands and then rubbed them around in the dirt and sand at the firing line's edge. when they asked what i was doing, i plainly stated that i hadn't ever tired my new H&K pistol in anything less than ideal conditions.
by the end of that afternoon, i saw at least four other people trying something similar.
make sure she's not holding your strong hand.
excellent advice... and it turns out i think i've always done that, even before i started to carrying.
i look forward to the new gloves i ordered being under my tree... hope that you folk also get all that you want this holiday! merry christmas and seasons' greetings to all!
