I am going through a debilitating round of Adhesive Capsulitis in my right shoulder. I can't use that arm to lift a handgun upward out of a belt holster, no matter the position. I can't reach across my body to access a handgun from a cross draw holster. All I can use is a front left pocket holster for a J Frame or a small semi auto.
Not ideal by any stretch, but it is what it is. Drawing weak hand from a belt holster> drawing weak hand from a pocket. And some if the responses here are 9 🙄/10

I mostly agree with the OP but situations gender, age and size play some role. A woman carrying a gun, almost any reliable gun to prevent a sexual assault against a man that may be unarmed or armed with just a knife and relying solely on being stronger than her is different than the reasons a healthy man would carry.
I’m 6’3” and reasonably young and fit. I’m unlikely to be involved in a justifiable shooting against an unarmed loan individual. In the unlikely scenario that I needed to use a gun it’s likely going to be against an armed with a gun individual, or individuals as the OP described and in that circumstance I want a decent sized gun with mag capacity. One is none. True. I should reconsider going Massad Ayoob and wearing a camera vest loaded up with three guns, a half dozen mags, two flashlights, pepper spray and a few sandwiches😜 lololololol

One of the most relevant, spot on threads in a long time.
Should have been locked and pinned before the retards showed up.
Thanks Mackay! The truth doesn't get through to many, but some know it for what it is. There certainly are some thick heads here.

This is a great thread. Here is my EDC stuff, year round: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/BvtPjrnT/Time-Photo-20231029-103308.jpg) There's a set of picks not shown, but they usually sit behind my wallet.

My ec9 works just fine birdwatcher. Carries in frt jean pocket fine too.
Mb My LC9 is the same gun with better sights. The problem I have had with it and every other compact semi-auto I have carried in a pocket is that once in a while the mag release button gets pressed during everyday carry. I haven’t heard anyone else complain about this, maybe it has something to do with me being left-handed/left front pocket.

I find no honor in not defending oneself, but more disturbing is the unwilling to defend others who may be defenseless. You want to be a hero go ahead, but my family depends on me..... they and myself are MY responsibility and once safe It's everyone else's turn to protect themselves. If everyone took responsibility for them and their's , the bad guy wouldn't stand a chance. I ain't gonna pretend and try to play swat tactical operator and put myself or my family in danger just cause some sheep have grown to depend on the cops for their saftey. Your family is what I am talking about dumbphuck.

Good post Mackay,
I read the relevant items , tried to skip the idiots.
Have 2 members the family that teach , handguns, rifle, self defense. I am in that crowd slightly.
Often I feel when I am out ,anywhere, that am the only person armed.

Paraphrasing Clint Smith on carrying the little guns concealable in your jogging shorts.
If you "know" you're going to be in a gunfight, that's the gun you bring? If I know I'm going to be in a gunfight, the gun I bring has wheels on it and you set it off by jerking on a string!

I wonder if Wrapids would have considered Lewiston, Maine a “war zone” before this all went down….

I drew a 365xl out of my pocket and drilled my dog before I could tell Young Richard to cover his ears.
That was at 30 yards and moving out.....
Me and that dog was both surprised. Shooting a little dog (especially your own as it is moving away from you) is in no way like being in a fight. And what could posses a man to take a 30 yard shot on his own dog with a handgun? Was there an imminent threat? Burns was tangled in his adult diaper and very vulnerable. Frankly my backhoe was broke down and I couldn't afford to dig a hole big enough to bury him. I could give a chit less about Burns. I’m curious why you needed to shoot your dog at 30 yards with a small pistol while it ran away from you. It wouldn't bring back the frisbee. Here I was thinking he squatted to pee. My Bad. Good shoot!
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
