    Default Out of the shadows, into the light

    Salutations GSers,

    Although I've only recently created an account, I've actually been trawling these forums for the past year and a half, or so.
    I started my competency process at the end of Q1 2018. After purchasing my Gen3 G19 in September and familiarizing myself with the dealer stock enigma, I finally received my S13 license mid April.

    I do carry diligently, as far as possible, however I'm still busy with my postgrad studies and walking around a university campus with a cocked glock aiming at my cock seems like overkill most days. As such I usually prefer to carry my situational awareness and a fixed blade when on campus.

    I enjoy fishing (read angling), drinking beer and talking about stuff that most people consider uncouth. I dislike apathy, waiting too long for bartenders and people who de-activate their "last active" on Whatsapp.

    As luck would have it, this

    https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/N...e-van-20190506

    happened last weekend about 30 mins before we drove into town to grab some pizza. We only noticed something was up after being diverted onto a different road and seeing 40+ SAPS and armed response vehicles scattered all over the place.

    Sometimes I thought the same.

    Then I thought about the times I was stuck CBD due to violent protests involving petrol bombs, or had to drive through Brixton when roads were on fire and POPS were skirmishing with bands of brick throwers and looters at night, or stopped to help a hit and run victim / broken down vehicle etc , or almost hijacked in traffic in the morning

    Welcome :P
