Halloween Carry

[SMLE]

I was helping some friends with a Holloween "Ghost Tour" here in Albuquerque's Old Town area. I was wearing a black, pin-stripe, 3 piece suit that Alphonse Capone would have been proud to own, a trench coat and black Borsalino hat. I had a Colt Official Police revolver with blanks in each coat pocket, and my Beretta 96 with live ammo IWB under my jacket. I was REALLY wishing I owned a Thompson, it was the only time you could walk around in public with a machine gun and NOT get noticed.

Halloween is my all time favorite holiday. This year as an excellent way to mess with my coworkers i went as a member of the feminine persuasion.

I went in yesterday as the 'Invisible Man'. The costume was awesome! They had a really tough time seeing me.

Glad to see that I wasn't the only adult child enjoying last night. AS tempting as it was, I dressed as "Dad", with jeans, a sweatshirt, and my Smith 649 on my hip. Although, I did carry a cross and a wooden stake, just in case.

Mmmmmm, Twix for breakfast. Yummy.

alternatively, given the ease with which one can carry on halloween, couldn't we also face the most devastating small-arms based (or maybe even suicide bomber) terrorist attack we've ever seen on a halloween night?

 

[CAS700850]

Yes, we could. But I'm more worried about the animals that prey on children than I am a terrorist attack in the middle of Ohio.

And Pax, I prefer the peanut butter Twix.

I had my 1911 under the candy bowl. Anyone trying to taske more than one piece would have gotten a nasty surprise...............

I had my Kimber Custom Shop Stainless Covert. Two spare mags, Surefire 9P flashlight and a Emerson Commander knife. I take my kids through the neighborhood I grew up in. I still know every buckle in the sidewalk after all these years. My father walks with us and thought I was silly to have all that. However later when we ran into a teenager dressed as a Samurai with a real sword he murmered that he was glad I had it. This kid was withdrawing this sword and swinging it in the air to scare other people on the sidewalk. You could tell by the sound it was a real steel blade going in and out of the scabbard. He was swinging it with abandon and would not be surprised to see that he hit someone if it were reported in the paper today. My comments to him to cool it were met with " F You."

gopguy: I may be wrong, but someone swinging a sword about recklessly WOULD qualify as a reason to be "in fear of death or grevious bodily injury". I think I might've called the cops and kept an eye on 'em until the po-po arrived...

Went to a halloween party as a DEA agent. Already had all the gear, so just wrote "DEA" in yellow tape on the back of the vest. Got a few looks when some folks realized it was a real AR-10 on my shoulder and a real S&W 4506 on my hip. The AR was empty; the 4506 was not (took the place of my CCW for the evening). Also had my Cold Steel Magnum Tanto IV (the San Mai III blade, not the cheap one) as part of the outfit.

Heck, it's not like I have any fake weapons..............

Edit:

The wife went with "The Quick and the Dead" theme, complete with Ruger Vaquero .44 mag. Of course, at 5'4" with neck-length brown hair, she don't look much like Sharon Stone. Close enough.
