Maybe she just wants a discount....

Silly argument. -3 Must do better.

Engaging in gun play with an infant in ones arms would be a Jihadi tactic, not that of a Red Blooded American Parent. You put the baby down, preferably behind cover, THEN you draw and return fire.

And you'll be dead by that point. If you are carrying something in the arm that you use to draw your weapon, you can drop it to quickly free that arm. What is she going to do, drop the infant? I think not. In the circumstance shown in the photograph, that pistol is purely decorative.

I don't like Tribesman, but he has an excellent point.

Bet she has another gun on her other hip....:D

Look, put the baby in the holster and cradle the pistol in your arms. Problem solved. :up:

It may be possible, but from what I can tell from the angle she does not appear to be wearing a double holster. If you are able to produce an image from a different angle, we may be able to resolve this impasse.

Isn't that what most NRA members already do? :O:

Yeah right:doh:
Some crazy dreamworld where the evil criminal who is coming at you with a gun is going to stop and wait for you to attend to your child so you can get your gun before he continues his action
I can see it now "please mr nice polite robber will you give me a minute to get my gun out before you try and rob me":rotfl2:

"The circumstances shown in the photograph" represent, at most, half the time the kid is in her arms. She switches him to the other arm, which according to my observations infant carrying people do all the time, and she can draw her weapon just fine.

Besides nobody is always completely ready to draw and fire all the time. Not even Soldiers. Take for example the picture below. Neither of those Troops could draw and fire their weapons any faster than that woman could.

I find that difficult to believe Takeda but it's just not worth unblocking the troll in order to see. I'll bet whatever he said was sarcastic though. Amirite?

Yeah. His point is what I said. I just removed the venom.

Huh? :88)

Yes, you're absolutely right. If someone comes in to rob her during the 30 seconds or so it takes to pay her bill, or while she's walking to or from her car, she's screwed. Is that a good enough reason to support our biggest resident troll? Or was it just an excuse to get your point across no matter what?

Careful now, don't point out that his whole approach there was rather foolish or you will be added to his land of ignorance:03:
Come to think of it doesn't that episode just like most of the topic demonstrate a heavy reliance on emotional arguements instead of rational ones....... and all delivered without any prodding by me.:haha:

Deal with what is written steve not what your amazingly innacurate mind reading powers tell you. :down:
Address the post not the poster as you are falling into something you often berate others for.

Since your sole reason for being on these forums is to mock people, is there a reason anyone should listen to you?

It was my attempt to put across a valid point made that would not have been responded to because of who happened to make the point. So what is your game Steve? Are you really that offended by the view or is this about something personal?

"The aim of argument, or of discussion, should be not victory, but progress."
-Joseph Joubert

Your astounding mind reading powers fail you yet again.

Tell that to the pro/anti guns people as they make no progress and repeatedly fall back to exactly the same arguement they have themselves already rejected

Please show the last time you actually engaged in a debate with someone.
