Come to recurrent armed?

[ohplease!]

Pop quiz you have two seconds to decide if you've watched the movie Speed too many times. If you feel your life is in danger then you a) write the company b) grieve it c) request a security escort to your car d) walk out with your sim partner. Bringing a unauthorized weapon will only bring you trouble. This isn't Somollia you're blowing this way out of proportion. Respond with an appropriate course of action. A gun is step 1,000 I suspect you haven't even contacted the company.
Ps I've shot guns many times, courtesy of uncle sam. I'm just smart enough to realize the sim facility is not as dangerous as Kosovo. You need to clue in to reality.

neither was Fort Hood or that engineering firm in Orlando....I'm just sayin'.

You are the one that needs to clue into reality. There are murders of innocent people every day in this country where if the person killed had a gun they may very well still be alive. The naive thinking that you have is what will get you killed, not me. I carry a gun for my and my families protection, it is something I choose to do and I train to be effective and safe with that gun. At the same time I hope I never have to use my weapon(and I am sure 100% of people who CCW share the same thought). If you choose to not carry a gun, again, that is your right, but please do not preach to me(or anybody else who chooses to exercise a right) about why carrying a gun is wrong and that we are over reacting, we dont preach to you all about why you choose not to carry, but you all seem to think its your responsibility to preach us how we are wrong.

With that said, I will repeat, if it is legal per state law and the place/company does not have policy/signage that forbids carriage, then you are well within your right and are legal to carry.

One needs only to look at the Ft. Hood tragedy. One would think a CONUS military base, surrounded by trained combatants, on your side, would be the safest place in the world. Yet, when every second counted, help arrived just 3 minutes.

Everything is relative.... Maybe Kosovo is dangerous to some people. I'll bet when Rufus pulls out his gaaak, puts it up against your dome and says "give me yo car and yo wallet, beeeatch!" Somehow Kosovo might not seem like a very bad option.

Fact it-the place is in a very high crime area-if you think your chances of being harmed are low, you are just being foolish.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but going back to the beginning of the post, and the TOPIC..............

Doesn't RECURRENT let out at around 5pm..................when it's still light out durring the winter solstice? I've also never been to recurrent by myself.................

Here's the deal- if you WANT to pack heat in a fit of paranoia, why not just do so. Hey, why not wear it in a holster like Josse Wales? You could also accessorize with an ivory handled revolver like George Patton. Go ahead and show up at FS like that, and let me know how it works out for ya.................

I would be proud to have a couple of my recurrent co-workers packing. I would much rather have some crazy old chick who comes into rgt shooting be met by a few or more ccw packers, let alone in the parking lot.

Jumper, that was fantastic humor. He asked if it is ok to carry concealed like a good percentage of americans do, and you state that he may as well wear a shiny pistol on his hip and advertise to everyone he has a gun.

I think there is a serious lack of ability to comprehend things if you guys say that carrying a weapon is paranoia. As airline pilots, the majority of us will never see any of the crap we prepare ourselves to handle, yet we do so just in case. Carrying a weapon is not even a second thought for many people, due to the fact that it provides that person the ability to deal with a far greater range of situations.

A quick google search turned up some examples..

Guns are great when they are employed by trained and proficient professionals in their tactical use. Anything else is just amateur hour. I suppose there is some deterrent value to open carry, but that is highly debatable. At any rate, I don't care if you can shoot the hell out of a paper target or clay pigeon or Bambi with your scope, it is not the same as effective combat or tactical training. Apologies to those I may offend, but I get the feeling many of the posters on this thread are yahoos to whom the description "trained and proficient professional" probably does not apply. Good luck slinging that iron.
