When I hear that beeeeeeep my mind goes completely blank. I totally freeze up and just stand there staring at the cashier. Wife has to punch me in the arm to snap me back to reality.

Sometimes I hear a beep a few seconds before they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I never actually registered it before, I do sometimes get a twitch at cash registers in some grocery checkouts. Fortunately, I have not actually ever drawn... I'll have to pay attention now to find out if is because of the beep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 When I shoot I count my shots. 1,2,3 etc. I've stopped or been stopped too often or have shot 10 and be told "you have two more" so click click. So now I tend to count a lot more things like the number of steps from the upper level to lower level of the house. 6 steps. Seems like a useless thing to do but if you're carrying something and can't see the steps, taking one more or one less could end in a fall.

I discovered I can shoot faster then I can count. I had counted 9 shots and was levering what I thought was the 10th as the TO was saying that's 10, you're done. Click, he was right. P.S. Scary because I shoot really slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are right. But if you are wrong... I think that would be SDQ. 13 steps from upstairs to downstairs... If I have a load on a hand truck in front of me and can't see... Accurate counting is important. I just ran a class through carry qualification. I count their shots. Today, someone loaded eleven when they should have loaded ten, so the slide did not lock back. "STOP! Unload and show clear." Magazine is empty. Student cycles the slide. Out pops an extra round... Student shows red face. "OK, this time load TEN."

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 the night before I'm too busy making sure I don't forget something that I can't worry about shooting. At my "speed" it's not a big deal . . . long, but not big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
