I think there was already a thread for "encounters in the wild" but I forget the name. So, anyway, I was exiting (big box home improvement store) empty handed after a fruitless and frustrating search and there, standing proudly for all to see is this guy who I suspect is a new member of the open carry fraternity. I don't know if Glocks still come with a plastic holster and double mag pouch, like I have seen guys at the range loan to newbees, but it looked like he must have just undone his belt and threaded the holster and then the mag holder directly in front of it i.e. such that if he tried to actually draw his G17 he would have found it was blocked in by the magazines and would have had to have torqued it around to get the gun out of the holster. He also had the mags in the wrong direction for a cross draw reload but I figure that was the least of his problems. While not in the spirit of education that PF encourages, I thought it best to keep my eyes foreword and walk away.

If haven't tried (name on card as I hand him a card) there's a lot of folks you might enjoy talking too."
