Was up in Tennessee this weekend with a few folks at our company's farm, just knocking around and looking over the food plots. The head farmer put me on the spot as our little group walked across a bridge. As usual, I had a .45, this time a full-sized Kimber TLE, hidden at five o'clock in a tuckable IWB holster.
"You got your pistol on you?"
"Not so's you'd notice. Why?"
"How long would it take you to hit that old tire down there in the stream?"
"That one down there about ten or twelve yards away? From what, with the gun in my hand, or with it concealed-holstered?"
"The latter."
"Oh, a couple of seconds."
"Wha? Sheeyit, right!"
"No. Really. Want me to do it?"
"Okay. On three then. Three, two, one. ... Why didn't you shoot?"
"Because you said 'on three', and then started counting backwards FROM three, you big idiot."
"Okay then, on three...."
"Wait, on three? Or on one-two-three-GO?"
"Okay, on 'go' then. Ready, One, two, three, GO!"
"Bang!"
"Well, damn."
As it usually does, it took me a full two seconds from relaxed ready with the t-shirt tucked over, but for me, that's not too bad. You hot-handed folks don't laugh at me now, you hear!
Best,
Jon
