quote:All semi-auto handguns imported into the USA are required to have an external safety. Glock disliked this requirement, so they put the external safety on the trigger. It is an external safety, but was truly a method of circumventing the law.
The Glock 17 lacks a manual safety which the shooter disengages with their thumb. This has greatly added to their acceptance in the shooting world and for good reason.
There are also 2 internal safeties.
But the real safety is to have a holster which covers the trigger until you draw and then keep your finger away from the trigger until you are needing to shoot.

One time this guy walked up on a little black boy sitting on the bank fishing.
"Having any luck?" he asked.
"No, my worms keep biting me."
The man looked into the can and saw that it was baby moccasins.
He rushed him to the hospital but it was too late.
(Probably not true but I bet I herd that story 50 times when I was a kid.)

Glocks do have an external safety
Lol. Please explain how a button that’s depressed when you pull the trigger, you know, the exact thing a safety is supposed to prevent, is considered a “safety”. So stupid

It keeps your finger from brushing the trigger and firing a round. Finger has to be centered on trigger which would not happen by accident.
Why do you think it is there if it is not a safety feature? Anyone who claims that is not an external safety is a straight up dumb arse. It may not be effective but it is 100% percent put there as a safety feature thus it is an external safety and there is no legitimate argument otherwise.

Lightweight, I grew up around the mountains where they handled snakes in church. Some lived, some died, but nobody played the victim.

He posted a video bragging about how his inland taipan was “easy to control,” then a few hours later was begging for antivenom. An inland taipan bite can kill you in 30-45 minutes.

Coastal South generally has 7, which is the most in this country: copperhead, timber, eastern diamondback, coral, cottonmouth, pygmy
Caught all of those this year plus Western diamondbacks, Trans-pecos copperhead, and Northern black-tail rattlers (those last 3 in West Texas).

I learned 3 things about snakes from my grandpa.
1. “If it’s wearing a mask it can kill your arse.” Talking about rattlers little eye masks.
2. “If you bite it and you die it's poison, but if it bites you and you die, that's venom.”
3. “If you don’t know what it is leave it the frick alone.”
I always appreciate people who can handle them and educate. But I’m not one to FAFO.

If you want to identify them using the rhyme though, it’s easier to see which colors are touching if you hold them up real close.

sure thing man. No one has ever had a negligent discharge with a Glock because of their intentionally easy-to-discharge design, the term “Glock leg” just appeared out of nowhere for no reason. The “safety” has a zero pound pull and it can easily be depressed by holstering, getting hung up on something, fumbling the gun and catching it the wrong way, etc. All of those things aside, everyone knows that I’m talking about an external manual safety. A dynamic, zero pound button that’s located in the center of the trigger 2 millimeters from the outside of the trigger isn’t the same thing as a manual, static button or switch that you have to consciously turn off before the gun will fire. You can’t get a manual safety hung up on a leather holster and shoot yourself in the leg.

Not poisonous at all, have had them, canebrake, and diamondback cooked over an open fire. Not great but better than a lot of MREs if you are on an extended camp. They are venomous however and I would stay away from them for that reason.

I don’t understand why people feel like they need to handle snakes to begin with just leave them alone.
You misspelled chop all their heads off and burn them with fire.
It’s the only way to be sure.

Red on yellow, good for a fellow. Red on black, get back Jack.

I was taught the pupils thing to determine quickly whether a snake was venomous or not.
quote:And there was a riddle for that when I was coming up in the 90s-00s. “If red touches black it’s OK Jack, if red touches yellow it’s a dangerous fellow”
Pupils. With the exception of the coral snake, every venomous snake in North America has vertical pupils like a cat. All non venomous snakes have round pupils. Again, with the exception of the coral snake.

Nope. Develops rattles as they age. I want to say some juvenile rattlers have yellow tails but I could be wrong.
Yep, some do and I believe they develop rattles pretty young. I saw one recently that couldn’t have been more than a few weeks old and the rattle was already developing.
