I took a couple of training classes, and they opened my eyes, to the fact that my right hand/arm might be out of order. Been carrying a pistol in my left front pocket ever since. Hope I never need it. I always carry two pistols outside the home.
When I'm in leisure mode, it's a PM-45 on my hip, and a mouse gun ( Beretta 950, .25ACP) in my front pocket. Better than a pointy stick.
