The Armed Rocker

[GunnyGene]

Found a use for the old kydex holster I hated. I spend a fair amount of time in the smoking lounge in this rocker I inherited from my father. Wanted to have a pistol handy without having to carry it around. So screwed the holster to the side, positioned for easy access but not visible to anyone coming in the door. The pic does not disclose the placement of the rocker in the room. Carries my old Ruger 9e.

I need to vacuum the rug.

GREAT idea, well done!

We'll see. The weather is supposed to cool down some next week, so I'll be taking the rocker outside for some live fire practice. It's about 8 yds from where I sit inside to the outside door and at about a 20* angle. No time to jump up and assume a square range presentation, so one handed point and shoot for at least the first shot.

Read the title and immediately thought of Ted Nugent

cool chair

I was going to say, toss an afghan around/over the chair and nobody knows what's there.

So did I! Or maybe Kid Rock!

Armed rocker? You could market that as the Ted Nugent Model...

I knew some of y'all would pick up on that. It wasn't a coincidental choice. When the weather cools off next week, I'll be taking it out back for some live fire practice. About 8yds from where I sit to the outside door and about 60* angle to my left. Hope I can hit something besides the dirt.

Wasn't there a hit song, "Rock around the Glock?"

Sorry, kids are all out of the house, so I save the Dad jokes for here.

Gunny, you'd better square that AO away before Top sees it …

I'm the Top in my house. Also point man, and sole survivor.

Where is the spittoon for yer chaw? When I was first married we had a neighbor who would sit on his porch in a glider with a shotgun under the blanket over his lap. He would rock and cuss under his breath. The guy sounded like a parrot with tourettes syndrome and I can still see and hear him to this day. "Huh-huh. Sonofa bleeping bastiches.. huh huh... mess around here ya little bleep-bleeps. Huh-huh"!!! It was an adventure for sure

You took me right back to the 70's......we had that exact chair. Good times.

I've got a hunch that if you don't do fine to start with you will by the time you're done.

Not to be critical, but I would have put a good thick leather holster belt through the rungs tight and just clipped the holster on that.

That might work also. I didn't have an extra belt, but do have lots of screws and washers.
