WWW.ALOA.ORG NOVEMBER 2023 KEYNOTES 57 HOLLONSAFE.COM (888) 455-2337 DOM-16 Available in 11, 16 & 22 Gun Capacities INTRODUCING THE NEW DOMINION SERIES GUN SAFES The Reason for the Bag Now is a good time to tell you why I bought this bag. I had back and knee is- sues years ago. Both knees are replaced, and there are nine screws and a metal plate in my left ankle. There were 10 screws, and Figure 20 is the screw that was removed. I’m not getting any younger, and I walk all over the place at the college. I don’t mind walking, but I once walked from the east side of Manhattan to the west side and then back to the middle at Fifth Ave. (For those unfamiliar with Manhattan, that's a lot of walking.) Now, I take a bus back and forth; it’s easy and cheap. The small backpack was starting to bother my lower back, and I found that I was removing tools to cut the weight. The result was I’d get to the farthest build- ing and not have something I needed, which is a real “drag.” For the newbies, that means the situation sucked. I knew Veto had a rolling backpack that would hold more tools, and I was seriously con- sidering it (mostly because of the wheels). I went on the company’s website to buy it and searched for “wheelers.” One of the choices was the Tech-LC Wheeler I’m showing you in this article. Up to that point, I had never seen one of these. As I looked at it, I realized that this was what I needed. I mean, this bag had more capacity than either of my packs, so why buy the rolling backpack if I wasn’t going to use the “pack” part of it? Once I got the bag and started loading it up, I knew it would be heavier than any- thing else I had before. I was pleasantly surprised that it rolled effortlessly when I pulled it along and didn’t feel heavy at all. Of course, I feel the weight if I’m pull- ing it up some stairs, but I expected that, and I rarely need to anyway.

The screw shown above was removed from the author's ankle and is the reason he switched to a rolling bag.
