3. I believe Big Gulp® is a trademark of 7-11 stores
Let's give credit where it's due.

7. Hmm...
For one to require so many weapons for protection this "Wal-mart", of which you speak, must surely be the most dangerous of establishments in the land. Pray tell me, what villainy did you happen upon?

8. Twas an experiment.
The Springfield is one of my normal guns, and I usually would go out with only that. However, I was trying to decide which of the other two I would use when I wanted to practice pocket carry. Therefore, I put the little black Kel-Tec in my left side back pocket in a special type of pocket holster and the Kahr (the silver one) in a special pocket holster in my right front pocket. By doing this simultaneously, I could more easily do a side by side comparison.

10. I carry one of these depending upon my mood.
Sometimes it's in a fanny pack, sometimes it's in Bainchi ballistic nylon, sometimes it's in K-Line leather. I prefer the .45's.

11. Ah, the traditional Wal-Mart carry...
I usually carry only one handgun myself, but I have occasionally carried two. I don't think I've ever carried more than two, except as an experiment around the house. I have the holsters to carry four handguns in four different places (ankle, shoulder, right hip, and pocket), but I have no desire to do so.

We have similar tastes in firearms, except that I prefer my Austrian Glock 26 (9mm) and Glock 23 (.40S&W) to your Crotian Springfield XD. I also have a Kahr PM40 rather than a PM9 and a Kel-Tec P-3AT (.380) rather then a P-32.

15. the bootlegger Dion O'Bannon used to carry 3 guns...
... concealed at various places on his person.

One day, as he was pretending to work at the flower shop he pretended to run as cover for his rum-running, some men walked in and ordered a bouquet.

O'Bannon took up the scissors and began snipping stems. One of the customers apologized for not introducing himself properly, and reached over the counter to shake hands.

So there O'Bannon was -- holding the scissors in his left, and shaking hands with his right.

He never got a chance to draw any of his three guns when his customers -- who had come to carry out a hit, not to buy flowers -- pulled out their own weapons and blasted him full of holes.

Three guns, but only two hands.


And hey -- welcome back, FatSlob! Hope you had fun on your vacation.

14. You see Desert Eagles in movies...
but I can't imagine anyone actually carrying one. I suppose it could work in a shoulder holster, but you'd need one on each side for balance. :)
