Here, Here! I had my WLA at our local chapt's rally 2 weeks ago and I was
amazed at how many people have the utmost disrespect for one's property. There
were quite a few spectators who just helped themselves to yanking my dummy
thompson right out of the scabbard! I would NEVER think of doing something like
that without asking the owner first. The bottom mounted hardware sounds pretty
good, at least until someone yanks a little to hard and pulls the bike over.
Years ago I used to run around with my live Carbine in my M38, but
nowadays with all the bleeding heart do-gooders I will only display dummies.
Better to take a chance with a dummy, that to have a live weapon walked off with
and have the liability of what they're gonna do with it.
