From the perspective of rapidly deploying a firearm in an armed attack, carrying a concealed handgun is best carried on the strong-side of the body in a quality holster. However, this method of carry is not possible, or even preferable, for many people due to physical considerations, dress requirements or even social norms.
Consider the woman who is wearing a dress to dinner. How is she supposed to carry a gun on her waist? She won’t. So, an alternative method must be employed. How about a doctor working at a practice where the accidental flashing of a gun might scare patients? Or the off-duty cop taking classes at the local college? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
