Pat, I'm sure you remember this one...
Carbine Course at Boone County '05- there is this guy completely decked out in head-to-toe, shiny new Multicam, custom 1911 worth about $3k in a drop holster w/ a retention lanyard, and (I believe) a tricked out SBR...
Anyway, he had a stoppage of some sort and went to transition to his pistola, and somehow managed to wrap the pistol's lanyard around the charging handle of his carbine, rendering it impossible to use either firearm and effectively turning into an ambulatory cluster&%$*....
Ah, good times.
