Oh, I misunderstood the title. I have had three people, who should have known better, utter those exact same words to me since I began to carry a 1911 on a regular basis.
Uninformed observer: "Uh, did you know your gun is cocked?"
Me: "Yeah. What did you think of last night's Red Wings game?"
UO: "Is it supposed to be that way?"
Me: "What? Yzerman scoring the game winning goal? You bet your ass it's supposed to be that way!"
UO: "No, I mean your gun. Is it supposed to be cocked?"
Me:"Yeah, it won't go bang if it ain't cocked. So did you watch the game or not?" Etc....
Anybody else ever run into this? I have carried Glocks or Sigs for years and stayed away from the 1911 because I didn't like the idea of cocked and locked carry. Of course once I actually bought one and began to train with it I changed my mind. Nowadays, if I can get away with carrying a full size gun it is ALWAYS the Kimber 1911. It's just right.
