Check out the glock, maybe they couldn't even fire it at you... Then again, if they can get it from you, either it shouldn't have been out, or you probably won't be able to drop the mag anyway. not something I would worry about though. -- Gordon Hayes, MCIS, University of Washington gordonh@milton.u.washington.edu Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"
