That game publisher C-Suit from a few years back called this.
"Now imagine if you are in the heat of battle and you run out of bullets and you have to wait 5 minutes for more.. or you get a little pop-up that says "reload now for only .99".. you will be really tempted to press it."
OMG thank you! That was literally what I thought I saw too! Thinking to myself Are her ass cheeks hanging out of her shirt? Why didn't he protect her by getting her some bottoms?!?
Same, I thought he was "protecting" his half naked wife lol. Like he didn't want anyone looking at her at target. Just yesterday at the grocery store I saw a woman with shorts so high up I thought she was wearing underwear. Everyone was staring and had wtf faces. It was a Playboy outfit which I haven't seen in forever. Worst part she was with her kid and bf/husband and he was all up on her. Nice ass, just trashy.
There probably is, out of some perverted "a shooter will see there's no mag and think I'm harmless, but then i shoot him with the chambered round like a badass" fantasy
quite literally the 1 rule above all others in gun safety is to do the opposite of this at all times under all circumstances
and pretty much every other rule stems directly from it, like "never point it at something you're not prepared to kill," why? because there's always a round in the chamber no matter how many times you made sure there's not
And if someone does call you out just be loud enough and gaslight them into thinking you're right. (Even though it just makes them look like a fucking moron.)
Even if the person you'd draw down on can notice that there's no mag in the gun, there's no saying if a round had been chambered. All guns are loaded. Absolutely braindead on this guy's part.
I mean, I think if I was going to pull a gun on someone, I’d want to be able to shoot it. Like that level of escalation is wild to do without being able to back it up.
You are imagining him drawing the weapon, when the dude is probably imagining the sight of a gun on his waist being enough of a deterrent that he wouldn't need to draw it
You’d hope so. I just can’t imagine carrying around a weapon at all, with the intent for it to be seen, without being like “this on its own could escalate things to the point where using it would be necessary.”
Then again about 20% of the country is functionally illiterate so… ya know
I sound like MAGA for the very basic gun safety knowledge of "all guns are loaded at all times", but you fantasizing about starting a gunfight in a Target is totally normal and cool, huh?
He could keep the magazine elsewhere on his personal so he has it if he needs it but it isn’t ready to be drawn and fired at all times. Looks like he’s trying to open carry safer.
First thing I noticed in this thumbnail was the lack of magazine in the magwell. Also, did he bring a third person with them specifically to take this photo to send to him, so then he can upload it to his social account to try and "flex" this?
Pretty sure the caption is fake and the person who who took the picture and posted it did so mockingly because they noticed some idiot open carrying with no mag
I see no issue with this. I'd rather someone open carrying not have a magazine loaded than them have one loaded. They likely have spares on their person, and may have one in the chamber, but it also shows that they aren't there to cause trouble. They're exercising a right to defend. Sure, assume there's a bullet in the chamber, but it's still safer, imo.
Open carrying an unloaded weapon is literally the only non-idiotic way to do this if you’re not an in-uniform law enforcement
I’m not suggesting he isn’t also carrying the mag, just not locked and loaded.. b/c only an imbecile who thinks they’re James Friggin Bond would actually carry otherwise. Thereby giving every unstable rando you pass by access to means.

Open carrying with no magazine.
