 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. :)
