[Arthur Shelby]

No. That's why it's called an emergency.

 

[rcurtner]

In all honesty, no.

In a little honesty, no, I don't have gun. But i know i can cut or stab with lefty when i had to.

 

[Belt Fed]

I don’t carry a handgun too often. I do carry a folding knife that locks, a fixed blade with a 4”blade, and a “Self-Defense” pen.

To each his/her own. Been carrying concealed & other wise for decades. But, I do carry both a fixed dagger and a auto folder, just in case.

Hi,

Oh boy! Something more to practice! Thankfully a lot of this can be done at home.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Yes, practiced it for years, as well as shooting with the non-dominant hand.

That being said, I accept that drawing with the non-dominant hand is significantly slower, even when practiced, and trying to do so while in H2H leaves me wide open to an attacker's strikes, as well as it being easier for said attacker to inhibit my draw. I still think that training this type of scenario in Force on Force is valuable, but it has taught me that being in that situation in reality is a sh*t sandwich that I do not want to have to eat.

Point of order, at the gun fight in the vacant lot on Fremont Street right outside of Fly's photo Emporium, kind of close to but not actually in the OK Corral

Wyatt Earp drew from a leather lined pocket in his duster.

If you're paying attention during the movie Tombstone they actually show him doing it.

Welcome to the forum! I look forward to sharing more of your experiences. This is a cool place to do it.

I think so. Hopefully I never have to find out.
