6. you're the first
to say it makes sense! Everyone else says it's weird, considering I'm a lefty. I carry (hardly ever do though) handguns in a holster that lies above the right hip, under the upper arm. My father said if that's what's comfortable, do it.
May not be a quick draw but it sure is a sneaky one.

When I carried the baby (actually more like 5 years ago) I just stayed out of scary places like a good little woman :crazy:

7. What's comfortable is usually what works best for you.
I sometimes use a crossdraw if I'm feeling kinda lazy.

8. I voted...
...On my belt. I like having my trousers uneven.

I don't carry concealed, don't have a CCW, and I'm not sure if I will ever be interested enough to get one. I don't carry regularly, but do occasionally open carry to and from the range, since they allow it in Arizona. That is - when the outdoor temperature permits comfortable wearing of something with enough cloth to merit a belt. I use one of those Uncle Mikes duty type holsters.

9. "Other"
On my left shoulder. You ever try to tuck a Brown Bess in your belt? It doesn't work; and the shot and powder pour out of the barrel...

Black powder, buck and ball... Makes a mess.

11. Thunder Wear!
Not because I find it convenient or practical, but because it enhances my 'manhood' (what gun discussion would be complete without a "penis" reference)? :)

14. My! That's a big one!
I certainly love mine, but CC ain't an option. Maybe that's why mine came with a sling.

Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 02:12 AM by DoNotRefill
I've got deep pockets. People think I'm playing pocket pool when I'm really just stroking my sidearm ;)

19. locking

last option flamebait. When you do a poll, try not to mock those with whom you disagree.
