Israeli Carry is a Bad Idea & Another Police ND

During our SOTG Homeroom brought to you by www.SOTGU.com we witnessed an example of the failure of the “Israeli Carry” method of carrying half-loaded guns. An Israeli soldier is lucky to be alive after the attack.

Yet another police officer had a negligent discharge with a gun that was supposedly just sitting in a holster. This incident occurred in Ceres, California. How and why does this keep happening? Is there a common denominator?

Also, for our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc., Professor Paul has another hunting rifle to consider. This one is chambered in .22 Nosler and has a VUDU X scope mounted on it.

From www.shootingnewsweekly.com:

Plenty of people carry a handgun with an empty chamber. Sometimes called “Israeli carry,” it makes them feel better and removes their worry about their gun “going off.” There’s only one problem: carrying with an empty chamber, like other bad habits, can get you killed.

Sure, in a perfect world, depending on the situation, the good guy might have time to draw their gun, rack the slide, and bring their sights to bear on his attacker. The world isn’t perfect, however, and massive adrenaline dumps under pressure will cause fine motor skills to go right out the window. Just as it did in a video that captures an attack on an Israeli soldier last year.

Fortunately the good guy came out on top, but only because he was lucky and had help from a bystander. Watch the video below and note how many attempts and how long it took him to rack his slide . . .
