Had his Tucker – Rattler Regrets It
Posted by Rob Longenecker on October 4th, 2006
I get all kinds of calls from customers and some are surprising. Today I got a call about how comfortable this guy’s new Tucker belt holster was but that he’d been hesitant to wear it in the woods because it’s so nice looking. I wasn’t sure where he was headed with his story.
Well it turns out that it was a good thing he overcame his reluctance to wear it. He was strolling through the woods with his brother yesterday when his brother walked right over a Diamondback rattler – a big fella. He swiftly drew and shot the snake with one well-placed shot. (I’d have likely emptied my gun at it. Ever try to hit a moving snake?)
He now has a little remorse at having to kill the snake (normally he lives and lets live) but his brother is having no second thoughts at all. My customer says he’s very happy with his Tucker holster but the rattler is not too pleased.
This reminds me how much I enjoy my customers. I get a lot of phone calls and often we get talking about a lot more than guns and holsters. I think people are comfortable talking with me and I make time to hear what they have to say. I really value that part of my work. I think my customers do, too.
You can call me any time. If you have questions about what might work best for you, don’t guess at it, just push those little buttons and give the the old “one ringy-dingy.”
I’ll be glad to hear from you.
