you mean ... you don't carry your handgun IN your coolant? sheesh! how you gonna keep the bullets from rusting??!!!! i always carry my .44 magnum in a gallon bottle of non-watered-down Texaco Havoline Dex-Cool Phosphate-free Anti-Freeze and Summer Coolant, guaranteed for 150,000 miles or 1,000 rounds fired. :) the, uh, phosphate-free part is to protect the nickel plating on the gun, you see.

i tried carrying my coolant in the handgun, but it just didn't work. i needed 144 12-gauge shotguns (automatic loaders) to keep enough coolant for the bus. it was hard to 'hide' that many shotguns, and i got stopped a LOT by the cops. they didn't believe me either.

but i've never been stopped since carrying the handgun in the coolant.

of course, the coolant does make the grips really slippery ... so my aim is a lot worse nowadays. i can put six shots into a 20-foot circle, though ... so if i don't hit you in the toe, i'll scare the blazes out of you. :)
