multiple gun carry?

[punxsutawneypete]

That video is ridiculous.
I would like to see the kid walk or sit down with 1/4 of all that gear, and loaded for added weight.
He pulled a full length shotgun out of his pants leg!

This video is not as ridiculous as it might seem. I have a copy of The New Lucian Cary on Guns, copyright 1957, that has an article about carrying concealed handguns. There is a picture of a period holster maker, Chic Gaylord, showing how he can conceal 13 handguns at one time. The next picture shows him with his suit jacket on and you cannot see anything that indicates he is carrying a gun. Most of the male lawyers I run into still wear suits so this is not so out of date as it might sound like.

And yes, I was around in 1957 but my dad bought the book and I kept it.

Bad information about guns/gun laws from a Philly cop? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Fixed it for ya!

If you feel the need to carry more than 2 handguns, I'd suggest that you spend a little more and buy one that's unlikely to fail on you in a crisis.

Carrying a second gun is often called a "New York reload". What would a third gun be?

A Josey Wales reload up to 4, also I think his horse had a few mounted in saddle holsters too

Yep , that was common practice for Rebel Raiders. The Walker Colts he carried in slim Jim hip holsters were originally issued in pairs with pommel holsters which attached to the saddle.

I love that movie
All those guns but he ended up impaling the dude with his own sword in the end :P

I don't doubt it.
My point is that most people couldn't walk 10 feet weighed down by a lot of gear, let alone function throughout a typical day of school or work.
It is one thing to stand in front of a camera, but something entirely different to function in the real world.
In reality, one or two quality firearms with lots of magazines are more effective than loading down with a lot of redundant gear.
This kind of video is designed to create visceral alarm in the ranks of the ignorant soccer moms via cheap theatrics.
That is why I have a problem with it.
If a kid or adult was intent on committing mass murder at school or work, history shows they wouldn't walk around half the day loaded up like the Road Warrior.
They would throw their stuff in a bag, or stash it in their car, and they would come through the doors shooting.

saddle pommel carry "I'm not carrying any firearms, officer my horse is."
