GlockSpeed31 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 That picture is about 3 years old or older. Yes, it has a nice flair to it. BTW: It was taken in Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 It is a strange feeling to be riding the bus and have people (in and out of uniform) get on the bus with rifles slung.... Really seems "strange" when it is an 18 yr old girl with a rifle. It seems a different world than the states..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those chick on the thread at arfcom aren't shooters. NONE of them have anything but iron sights, where as the guys have everything imaginable on their AR's. The chick are only carrying cuz they have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish more anti-gun Americans would vacation in Israel It is an EXTREMELY safe place to visit now that the security fence around the west bank is in place & Gaza went to the PA. I have been there twice and they LOVE Americans there (try finding another country in the middle east like that). In both Israel & Switzerland, the country is "awash in guns" and mere citizens are "armed to the teeth" with a "weapons cache" in every home. Both countries have miniscule violent crime rates that are lower than the US. What is the difference? -though they have the guns, the Israelis & Swiss don't use them on each other. U.S. anti-gun voters need to understand - its not the gun. Rather, its the mentality of the society that is at the root of the crime problem.

Skywalker Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 To me it looks like the central girl has a sort of L-shaped mag holder: one mag in the gun, the other one held by a clip, to allow fast reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That style of carrying a mag is very common. The 'mag' in the gun is usually a dummy though the one it is attached to is not. I was told by a neighbor, from isreal that they do not carry off duty loaded rifles. Ammo close at hand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That style of carrying a mag is very common. The 'mag' in the gun is usually a dummy though the one it is attached to is not. I was told by a neighbor, from isreal that they do not carry off duty loaded rifles. Ammo close at hand though. Correct. I asked them about this when I visited. In "civilian areas" the rule is: no magazines in the rifle (though loaded magazines are kept "on" the rifle - with the device pictured or even with elastic bands). They also follow a "no loaded chamber" rule for pistols. There is a different rule for other areas like the many road blocks or at the border into Jordan - there I saw magazines in the rifles ready to go. The reason for this policy was explained to me this way: there are SO many different weapons in service and many more nationalities, languages, etc. represented in the IDF (the Israel Defense Forces) that the ONLY way to prevent accidental discharges is an empty chamber policy. Considering the fact that Israel won its independence using home-made Stens & every other "fire arm" they could get, I understand their distrust of mere mechanical safeties. Kingman & everyone: you should visit. Its safe there, the women are beautiful, and the Israelis love Americans (plus the food ain't too shabby!).
