Well, if it helps, I was training them in just the opposite direction. This also might help the OP understand too. I would teach them that if they put their forearm on their pistol butt, it provided a nice rest, looked a lot less threatening than many other places, and helped protect their firearm from a gun grab without making it obvious. It is both a useful position and restful at the same time.
Yes sir I agree with your method & sound right on as I say we got a couple complaints so tried to stop folks but never worked out just to darn handy & your sure right about gun grabs. Thanks maybe you helped this person understand LEOs not trying to intimidate just wanting to go home after their shifts over. :tiphat:

:iagree: Yup you have hit the nail on the head many LEOs do it exactly for that reason. Trained police in the academy for 6 years tried to teach not the best thing but in Texas just the way it is not going to change 60% of LEOs who find it makes a good arm or hand rest just so you know I was guilty of doing it too. :txflag:
