Randyc Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Art Very nice job on the range bag. I like that it doesn't scream it's intended use. Illinois doesn't allow civilan carry of concealed weapons. I often shoot at a local Bass Pro shop. The stores located in a large shopping mall. The mall and parking lot are over run with gang bangers and other miscreants with numerous carjackings, robberys ect. ect. If it hasn't already happened, I wonder when someone using the range will have their range bag snatched while returing to their vehicle in the parking lot.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 3, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted March 3, 2009 No hijack intended.... Randy, that has happened before, in several places, with varying circumstances. In one article I read about it, the bad guys followed a couple home from the range and gang rushed them at their car. Took the guns, cash, and then forced the couple to open up the house and robbed it too. My rule for being at the range: Never, Never, NEVER leave with an empty weapon. On the bright side, another incident involved a two guys grabbing a third on the way to his car and after taking his keys, crammed him in the trunk, then stole the car. Upon reaching their destination, the two bad guys opened the trunk and fell to a hail of gunfire. The guy they carjacked was an off duty officer who'd stopped off at a store on the way from the range. He didn't leave with an empty weapon either.

ArtS Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 Shorts, I used 2-4oz chap leather for this purse. It has a nice feel to it so I'd use it again. At first I thought it might be too thick but it was just right. I bought the hides on sale not knowing what I was going to use it for besides a pair of chaps. Well here ya go - this project came about. I love it when something works out well. My wife really likes the color. My wife loves it (thank goodness or I'd be in trouble, LOL). I recently read where an elderly couple here in Atlanta had people breaking into their car port so they made a home made alarm with strings and cans. When a gang tried to steal their car the husband grabbed his pistol and his wife grabbed their AK-47 and they went after the crooks. I love this line in the story; "When police arrived they found shell casings littering the driveway and front yard, and the couple's car riddled with bullet holes." LOL I love it. You have to take care of yourself. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/18808510/detail.html#- Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything.
