I was thinking of it for hiking or primarily for when I go shooting up in the mountains I like the little ridge to keep the butt of the rifle from sliding off your shoulder part of the vest.

Uh, do you do much hiking? That thing would be way too hot for the terrain on the hiking trails here.

Have you considered joining the military? They let you play soldier all the time, and they give you the vests, packs, and guns for free. ;)

Nah, you got kicked out for a more legitimate reason than what you tell people you did. :shocker:

Get the vest if you really want it...it's not going to be very comfortable. If you want to paddle that boat, have strong arms.

i would stick w/that story to appease your ego as well as allowing you to save face with family and friends...and ya like bernymac says buy and wear the gear so you can continue thinking you are a wantabe....whatever.

your use of the the term 'kicked out' is quite telling and bloody scary when used in the same conscious thought that you might still have access to firearms.

This doesn't appear to be a belt or shoulder holster as specified in the new law. I recommend sticking with the common definitions until things get moving.

No I got kicked out because I humiliated a First Sergeant in the Ranger training battalion, long story.

Tried on one of those vests today they are really hot and they don't fit my slim build at all.

Enough. Everybody with a Combat Arms background knows what really happened. We've seen it time and again. This is not a place for nonsense.

The new law specifies that you can only OC with a hip or shoulder holster. OC with a chest holster is illegal. OC with a thigh holster is illegal. OC with an ankle holster is illegal.

Yea that's not how it works. You claim law and you want me to google something that doesn't exist? You made a claim, now you cite the RCW.

I don't live in TX. My state doesn't care what kind of holster you use. It's your gun, your trial, look up what you want. Makes no difference to me. I'm going to bed now. Good day :)
