What WERE You Wearing - Fit Pics From The Past

This is me in 1994 Russia))

@Walery-Smirnoff blue jeans and a pistol! Was this a common look in 1994 Russia??

[Alex]

A common look in parts of Russia today still, I imagine

I grew up in Southern California where gun carry laws are stricter. When I moved to Colorado I remember the first time I saw someone with an open carry pistol and I thought I’d moved to the Wild West.

Now, that I own my own firearms and understand the liberal carry laws around Colorado it seems almost “normal” to see this type of thing.

Frightening for me.

[Giles]

Inexplicable to me.....

I remember the shocked expressions some Australians had when I casually mentioned shooting one time and have since reined that topic in among certain company.

Europeans would be a good start

i! I'll answer. I was young and stupid then. You've all spotted the trends correctly. In the 90s, we had crime all around. And everyone was going crazy in their own way. I grew up and got smarter. Unfortunately, the people around me didn't get smarter. And jeans were good back then, too. Levi's

@Walery-Smirnoff sounds like we’ve all experienced the transition from stupid young people to older and wiser. I’m glad you’ve been able to avoid some of the downfalls of old friends.

I most certainly don’t carry firearms around with me. Not my thing nor is it something I necessarily agree with. I do enjoy bringing a sidearm with me when in the backcountry. They are fun to shoot and enjoy marksmanship. Could be argued they are critical when fishing deep in Grizzly country, though bear spray is far more effective and efficient in that case, arguably.
But citizens with concealed carry out in the community is all around that’s for sure.

What's in the Star Wars box @mclaincausey?

[Bridger]

@Walery-Smirnoff Hope the safety was on...

[mclaincausey]

@Bridger it was the Death Star Space Station.

Amazing that it comes in a box

[mclaincausey]

@Bridger wish I had that box and all the pieces. Worth a fortune now apparently

[GraemeE]

In case it's not obvious enough 2002 Graeme never left home without a different type of "piece"

moi at Jakarta Airport 1994, in the middle of a 6-months rucksack-tour through Asia: Levi's shirt (probably fake) and Levi's jeans (probably original), Bundeswehr Jump Boots and two Macpacs

[Bridger]

Good hair @endo

Macpacs were the shit, back in the day

[Mizmazzle]

@endo incredible shot of a young globe trotter!
