I am going to stay inside or the pool at very least.
It is always more difficult to conceal carry when it's hot. I have a fanny-pack dork dad looking rig that is my usual solution.
--That's right, a fanny pack. Don't judge.

My New Daily Carry
 |
| Glock 26 |
I walked into my favorite shop yesterday and the had the exact model I was looking for.
I love Virginia. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Easy as could be.
I will be getting some of the specialty magazines that give you an extra finger worth a grip.
I also like that it will that the same mags as my Glock 17, even the 33 round versions. Because, you know... Zombies.
--Now to find a nice threaded barrel.
Random Tuesday
The Republican Nation Convention has begun. The biggest thing they are talking about is the speech of Trumps wife.
I am looking for a new daily carry and I think It will be a Glock 26. Getting all the way into the Glock bed for my utility guns.
--Off to work.
Writers and Guns
It was a really good story but made the classic mistake of Clicking the Safety On when the gun was a Glock. If they would not have mentioned Glock I would have presumed it was a 1911 or something else with a manual safety.
In my writers group a scene we were reviewing and three shotgun blasts, in a small kitchen, and the sound was described as "Pop".
Books and movies rarely detail how loud guns are. Especially in closed spaces. I remember a scene in The Walking Dead where Rick fires his .357 inside an enclosed tank. BANG, hearing gone with a high pitched whine.
--Happy Anniversary TBolt for 9 Years of Blogging!

Every History Museum has a Gun
I was in the Buffalo History Museum yesterday and saw this gun.
It is a replica of the one used to assassinate President William McKinley in Buffalo.
It is so very ironic.
Even after all the harsh gun control laws imposed recently in NY State, this type of gun is still unrestricted.

Gatherings
A strange thing happened last night when we went to see the fireworks.
A Swarm.
I never heard this term before. We were seeing fireworks with my friends family at the University of Buffalo campus. We had attended several times before. But this time a large crowd of people began to form in a park below us. A few dozen turned into a few hundred, and then a thousand.
It was mostly college students, mostly male and this crowd was drawing more in like gravity.
We heard a cop behind us say into his radio, "This does not look good." Slowly more police began to arrive by bicycle, on foot, in golf carts and cars.
Their tone turned alarming.
We heard people refer to the crowd as, "The Swarm". Struggles ensued in the crowd, cops wrestled people to the ground and cuffed them as the crowd screamed at them. The crowd was on the verge of becoming a mob.
We contingency planned an evacuation. If that waving flag began to burn, if there were shots fired, if the crowd became a mob... we'd hot foot it out of there.
The fireworks began and it distracted the crowd.
--The moral of the story is, Situational Awareness.
