She’s going to be in for a surprise if she ever needs that mag. It’s backwards.
You trying to tell us that a backwards magazine is a problem?

I think a good argument can be made that self defense is not about moving toward and engaging “the enemy.” It’s about “getting off the X” and disengaging the threat. For the average armed civilian, standing out in the open with bullets flying is not the time to be dicking around with a firearm- period.But we did carry with a mag in the weapon, even if there was not a round in the chamber.
I'll bet more people have been killed dicking around loading their weapon when they should have been shooting that those who had an AD.
Also, I've NEVER heard of an M4 firing when the weapon was on safe. Ever, never, not even once. And I was in the Air Force, where weapons discipline was not even a thing.
Why do they make it so hard?
You already gave away the tactical advantage to the enemy by carrying in the open, then you add this?
OY!

It's the same lazy uninspired attitude of most trade workers. Just run the clock out all day. Their not investing in tools or trying to learn as much as they can to make more money. Just punch the clock and go home. Why would anyone think it's different for cops? It's the perfect .gov job to be a lazy POS for 25 years and retire.Not booming on all cops, but.....
When I'm the Range Safety Officer at our public range, and some person bounces out of their car and says to me "you don't have to watch me, I'm a cop and carry a gun all day!" I make the sign of the cross, mumble a short prayer, and try to get the guy to switch to the other side so I don't have to watch him like a hawk.
60% - 70% of the cops who show up on my range don't know how to properly operate, present, or fire their weapon. "I'm not a gun guy."
I know when I was still in uniform (military), I had and exact copy of my issue weapon and I practiced the shit out of it.
I don't get, "I'm in the business of gunfighting, but I don't know how to run my equipment."
Rant over. For now.
What did you do in a city park, two blocks from your mom's house?When we were on LRRP in '67. we stayed locked n loaded !!
“One minute I was strolling past the playground. A kid on the jungle gym side-eyed me and just like that I was back in ‘nam…”What did you do in a city park, two blocks from your mom's house?
BTW, you gotta start your stories with, "back in nam".

Looks like she’s in to shoddy equipment and poor technique.So she's into reverse cowgirl... I don't judge.

No not the big juicy kosher ass but that thing in the mag well ?
I’d like to see the drill. I can’t figure a way that allows for an un-goat-fucked magazine insertion, given the orientation of the bullets in the OPs photo…As long as they're properly trained on how to load it in an emergency. If I know the Israelis, I'm sure they drill on it constantly.

Now I am confused - first you said you were in the Air Force and now you say you were in the military - so which is it?Not booming on all cops, but.....

They tell you to say military in “mixed” company to not offend those who scored low enough to go army, navy or marines.

... you said...drill on it. I see what you did there. MacAs long as they're properly trained on how to load it in an emergency. If I know the Israelis, I'm sure they drill on it constantly.
Yeahhhhh…this. I just sat here for a few seconds trying to come up with the way to grab it and do a flip twist to no avail. That thing is a bit fucked.I’d like to see the drill.

Here's a video of the market where that photo came from.
all active duty soldiers are required to carry, even when on leave.
The better their scores / longer they are in, the shorter the rifle.
Off duty are not supposed to have a magazine in the chamber.
Back in my uncle's day they had something that translated from hebrew called the Hitchhiker - it looked something like that, only it included a small magazine for 2 or 3 rounds hidden within the magwell. You could fire 3x before spinning the magazine to your full mag.
(sorry, I was searching something else and this thread came up on google).
My grandfather was the lead american contractor that built the US "gifted" airbases in the negev after Israel gave the Sinai back to Egypt for peace. I still have his civilian issued license to carry (he kept it in his US passport) - I'm not even sure foreigners can get those anymore. I took it with me on birth right, everyone was amazed it was ever issued.
About 15 years ago I was running a squad at the local USPSA match. A lady I did not know, but was “experienced” according to her friends came up to shoot. BUZZ, she draws and engaged a couple targets and began to move along a wall. She stops, turns towards me with her pistol pointed at my midsection and said, “I have a question.”
I grabbed the slide, pushed the pistol down range and told her to let go. Cleared the weapon and told her to meet me at the safe table with her bag
Match director took her aside and explained the situation. He later told me she was pretty pissed at the way I treated her. She was a deputy sheriff.
Wish I could say that is my only negative experience.
Just out of curiosity, how does one distinguish between active (but off duty) soldier carrying as depicted in the video, and a potential terrorist just trying to "blend in?" Is there something which identifies the person as an "off duty" soldier so they aren't mistaken for anything else? I don't see any identification insignia or anything. I know these folks are light years ahead of us in the USA. Imagine all the SWATing that would ensure if people tried to carry this way, here.
Skin colour and racial profiling.
Yep that's what they do.
And if you happen to be unlucky enough to be a Jew and an Israeli citizen but have very dark skin, well you might just stop a terrorist attack and then have some punk "solider" execute you in the street in cold blood because he wants to "kill Arabs" and his command will be like... well... can't we ignore it
(true actual story recently).

Sorry but actually YES the command tried their very and I mean VERY best to make it go away right up until the family made a big enough stink that they said "okay we'll investigate ourselves"...Tell me you've never been to Israel without telling me you've never been to Israel.
Chaotic shit happens when you're responding to people blowing themselves up in cafe's and spraying crowds in a bus station. Target identification is a big issue for everyone. Command has never "swept it under the rug." Nor would the poor person who made such a mistake ever let it go.
It's not like we have video of this, don't believe your lying eyes.No it wasn't some B.S. about "chaotic" it was clearly cold blooded murder.
The actual hero was on his knees with his hands in the air, completely unarmed and pleading that he was an Israeli citizen when the soldier decided to murder him in cold blood.
