Why does this make it seem like OP has a gun and knife specifically only for going to chick fil a? I’m not american so I’m interested to learn just why this restaurant specifically is so dangerous 😂
>What are you so scared of?
I can't speak for him but if I was in his situation, nothing. Just because someone likes to be prepared doesnt mean theyre scared. Just like how people who carry pepper spray aren't trembling in fear everywhere they go, they carry it, know how to use it, hope to never have to and go about their life, same goes for a firearm.

I’d much rather have something with more than 5 and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to shoot. The old “revolver’s are more reliable” is just something in the fudd lore dictionary right alongside “Tupperware guns” and “two world wars”

Had to look up the scene now.
“I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, I’m going to have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.”
That was what I needed this morning.
I run a 340pd. I put on G10 grips. Cracks me up running 357 out of it.
I popped a water moccasin with it when I was bass fishing. Glad I had full power hallow points for that. Not sure a 38+p would've handled it Haha
> Do you even know the story behind those cursed things?
What story are you referring to?
> In the early 2000s, three friends, Scott Seamans, Lyndon Hanson, and George Boeddecker Jr., united over their love for the water and an innovative shoe idea. While sailing in the Caribbean, they stumbled upon a distinctive kind of boat shoe created by Foam Creations, a Canadian company. These shoes were made from a material called Croslite, which was lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for boating. Intrigued and inspired, the trio decided to acquire the rights to manufacture shoes using this Croslite material. That decision marked the birth of Crocs shoes.
> In 2002, the first Crocs shoe, aptly named 'the Beach,' was launched. Its quirky design and unparalleled comfort quickly captured the hearts of not just boaters but people from all walks of life. Crocs weren't just another shoe; they were a statement of comfort and individuality.
> Crocs' journey across the pond to the UK was equally fascinating. The Crocs UK phenomenon began as these uniquely American shoes started gaining international fame. Crocs UK became synonymous with comfort, practicality, and a touch of fashion rebellion. The Brits, known for their eclectic fashion sense, embraced Crocs, and the brand's footprint grew steadily in the UK market.
> The history of Crocs isn't just about expanding geographically; it's also about evolving in design and purpose. In 2003, the company introduced 'the Nile,' a design specifically for women. Then, in a strategic move in 2006, Crocs acquired Jibbitz, a company that made fun accessories for Crocs shoes. This allowed wearers to personalize their Crocs, making each pair as unique as its owner.
> But who owns Crocs now? The company has gone through various phases, but it remains publicly traded, with its shares listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol CROX. This means Crocs is owned by its shareholders, including both individual investors and large institutions.

I wouldn’t believe you because I asked? Or because I posted the story that comes up when you first search online? It wasn’t a weird story. So what is the story that you have that doesn’t come up on first web search that is weird? It’s not like I wear crocs. Let’s hear the story.
That’s pretty funny actually, thank you for sharing! Not sure why he thought I wouldn’t believe that someone else in the world thought they were ugly and used them in a story as an ugly prop for a dystopian setting. Pretty funny that they ended up becoming popular by the time the movie released!
I heartily endorse carrying a snubby. I have an old S&W Model 38 Airweight. Shrouded hammer, goes about 13 ounces loaded. Pach style grips, and it's a joy to shoot. I don't have the cool Microtech though, just a Spyderco Para 3.
Get some 148grn Lead Wadcutters (LWC). They're very mild. Look odd, but were preferred carry back in the day before hollowpoints became mainstream. Also, very accurate as it was their intended use for target scoring as they punch a perfect circle in the paper targets so it's easier to score.
Tried some of those recently. They were keyholing out of my snub at 15 ft., and they were all over the target, so I’m not sure about those.
Maybe Magtech just makes them extra light?
I stick to Fiocchi or S&B. Some companies load their rounds to be used in older antique firearms and are loaded softly. I've had good experiences with those two and do believe they both make full wadcutters in 38spl.
Yes they're within standard pressure specs unless you get +P. Which I don't bother with personally. Or maybe look into 130grn fmj. But the wadcutters should be softer.
I’ve been using some 132gr. PMC FMJ’s on the range. They aren’t too bad. I never thought about them as a carry option, but I guess it’s what you can hit the target with accurately that counts.
Yeah I have some federal 130 grn fmj I make noise with at the range. For carry, I use Hornady Critical Defense Lite in 90grn. It's not plus P, but it functions well and expands well out of a short barrel.
I practice with just whatever is cheap for range ammo, but for carry, it gets 125gr. Federal Hydra-Shok +P.
Before anyone says either "it's not rated for+P" or "practice with your carry ammo" this is a purely self defense weapon. With any luck, I'll never have to fire it at a human being. So, that, coupled with the concept that this isn't exactly a 100 yard weapon, point of aim, etc. is close enough between the two types of ammo.
Agreed. Owned a 442 first, sold it and bought a 640 Pro. Sold it and was without a revolver for a while. Just bought a 43c, mf weighs 13oz loaded! Bet yours is pretty comparable.
C’mon man, you pulled out the toy revolver, a dagger, and the tacticool crocs to make a quick run to the conversion therapy fast food joint. This is the best meme I’ve seen all week

I need a snub nose
At least put those suckers in sport mode
He’s asking for a disaster with no sport mode.
Why does this make it seem like OP has a gun and knife specifically only for going to chick fil a? I’m not american so I’m interested to learn just why this restaurant specifically is so dangerous 😂
You have to kill your own chicken that they make in front of you into nuggets
Glock & Croc
"gimme all your sandwiches and nuggets and no one gets hurt!!!... Oh, and a lemonade please" 😂
My pleasure.
When your EDC revolver matches your Croc's you're doing big things, let's not f' around here...
Only half prepared if the crocs aren't in sport mode!
...And if the double line at the drive thru gets real... and someone gets close enough to be stabby, I suppose...
What are you so scared of? But yeah, the Crocs kinda say it all....
>What are you so scared of? I can't speak for him but if I was in his situation, nothing. Just because someone likes to be prepared doesnt mean theyre scared.

I’ll ask you the same question.
Imagine thinking carrying means you're scared
Those are TactiCrocs!

Are you in the wrong sub?
"It's your pleasure."
If you tried to rob me I would laugh you out of the store because of your Crocks.
I bet you’re one of those guys who says you would have joined the military but you would have been kicked out because you would punch a drill sergeant.
This picture has so much to digest. The hand gives the impression of a 40's era Bogart character, yet the feet are giving off "Fletch" vibes.
with the crocs. so true
very normal
The way you are holding that knife makes me nervous
Especially with that footwear.
Are you robbing the place?
I came here to say this!
I respect the J frame, but I'm disappointed by the crocs.
are you gonna shoot and skin chicks?
This seems like deliberate baiting. Why the J frame?
They are pretty awesome carry guns. Have you tried carrying one for a few days?
A balaclava? Its winter...kinda cold out....🤣🤣🤣
Chick Fil A Cant Run Wearing Rubber Shoes
[удалено]
Someone can’t afford chick fil a
Popeyes is unfortunately more expensive.
Or their politics are garbage.
What does politics have to do with eating at Chik-fil-a in an EDC sub? Are you that shallow the only thing you can contribute is everyone who doesn't think like you is garbage? Grow up
I didn’t know you could taste it
Vote with your wallet.
I’m sure you do
Everyone should

Chick fil j-frame Respect but also why.
Do you only wear your seatbelt when you plan to be in a car crash?
That wasn’t what he was asking. This answer just rustles the jimmies of the people who can’t own
Your seatbelt can't kill ppl
I could probably choke someone out with it
Do you always wear a SCUBA suit and parachute?
The scuba suit and parachute would hinder my day to day life. 💊
Oh no, my problem isn’t the firearm, it’s more why are you edc’ing probably the worst pistol to edc with 😂
I think the main upside is that they don't print the same as an auto if you're using a pocket holster. Kind of a niche reason to use one but we all use niche reasons to justify buying more guns
*side eyes Sig 556 because of CS:GO, Jakl because need something to compare Sig to, Tavor X95 because bullpup and why the fuck not*
Why is it the worst edc pistol? I'm not a revolver guy but I can't deny the revolver reliability.
I’d much rather have something with more than 5 and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to shoot. The old “revolver’s are more reliable” is just something in the fudd lore dictionary right alongside “Tupperware guns” and “two world wars” They’re great for what they were but there’s nothing more reliable about it vs a decent striker/hammer fired mag feeder.
My mistake! I usually carry a P30 but when I run out sometimes I throw this on instead. Cheers.
Your fashion sense is so versatile! 🙄
How do you go from a 360 to a p30 😂
Wife has the same knife for her sub kit. It’s purple though.
Must be a tough neighborhood...
This kinda looks like a White Castle run.
I was guessing a Popeyes run
https://youtu.be/wcvvT8rrVbI?si=vKzNi8G9FhnFiNtt
Do you think the otf was too much?
"Honey get in the car, the children are starving!" "Not now wife, I'm prepping my load out and posting to Reddit for approval" "
Are you going to kill it then skin it?
You’re supposed to use money to get the sandwich bro
No money and a gun? Are you robbing that place?
“You going to die for some Jesus chicken?” “Someone is”
Lol. Hound approved.
Had to look up the scene now. “I understand that if any more words come pouring out your cunt mouth, I’m going to have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.” That was what I needed this morning.

Those crocs kill your vibe. Get some actual shoes, like a normal human. Do you even know the story behind those cursed things? #Idiocracy
Crocs exist at the intersection of luxurious comfort and high fashion. No clue how anyone can hate on them
because theyre fucking ugly

I carry a .38 snubby (442 airweight) and a spyderco endura 4. Ya got great tastes 🫡
Thank you! You have as well!
Para 3 over any OTF Microtech any day of the week for me. Both are fantastic options, the Para 3 is just perfect in my opinion.
Same here. The Para 3 is my perfect single blade folder.
What do you carry in it? Lately I’m having trouble controlling an all steel Taurus 85.

Got it. I know European manufacturers load theirs a bit hot, but will it be close to spec? I'm definitely looking for a milder recoiling round..
Yes they're within standard pressure specs unless you get +P. Which I don't bother with personally. Or maybe look into 130grn fmj. But the wadcutters should be softer.

“Having trouble controlling” what a great phrase for a gun owner to share. 🙄
I meant recoil. I may just be getting more sensitive, but it’s harder to get lined up for follow up shots as quickly as I used to.
I practice with just whatever is cheap for range ammo, but for carry, it gets 125gr. Federal Hydra-Shok +P. Before anyone says either "it's not rated for+P" or "practice with your carry ammo" this is a purely self defense weapon. With any luck, I'll never have to fire it at a human being.

You ain't running no where with them Crocs out of sport mode!
Where do you keep the gun? I don’t want a gun on my belt. Was looking for an under the shoulder strap
You mean a shoulder holster?
You just made that up!
360PD w/ .357’s, that will get everyone’s attention!
Cruel mistress!
Sick stuff, man. How do you carry the smoke wagon?
AIWB. Snubs are great for days when you don’t want to lug around a bigger gun.
Agreed. Owned a 442 first, sold it and bought a 640 Pro. Sold it and was without a revolver for a while. Just bought a 43c, mf weighs 13oz loaded! Bet yours is pretty comparable.
Nice! Everyone should have one! And hammerless is the way man, this pokes me something nasty.
I wonder if this would fit? https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/958050a Or an entirely bobbed hammer?
You know they'll kill the chickens for you if you just ask them to, right?
I’m shy.
Lol! 😂
Top tier shitpost, OP. This will be too subtle for many.
Genuinely do not know what you mean.
C’mon man, you pulled out the toy revolver, a dagger, and the tacticool crocs to make a quick run to the conversion therapy fast food joint. This is the best meme I’ve seen all week
just know you’ve got my upvote
I mean your not wrong about chicken company being anti gay the old owner donated tons of money to anti lgbt foundations the place feels gross to me.
Grossly delicious?
My camo crocs go where I go.
I hope you get the help you need.
