Re: Us Poor Lefties

Morning Mike and welcome to the forum.
I was raised as a righty (in a time & place where you were either right handed or wrong handed) so, like many others I feel your pain.
You already know this but, you need to train w your weak hand. However, if I know that I am going to be spending alot of time in my
vehicle whether traveling or driving the family up the road to the store I will switch out my AG 3.0 to the right side enabling me to
cross draw. Not ideal but, w practice can be a very smooth & effective alternative that I believe has been helpful to me in being
prepared to act. I did spend alot of alone time in the garage practicing not to sweep the passenger seat or myself. The hardest
part for me was remembering to shift/lean right so as to give more room for my arm operate and to get my face away from the window
(in case the window 'shatters'). When the family is shopping I drop & pickup at the front door. That way there is no traipsing thru the
parking lot w kids/grandkids in tow. Easier for them & less worrisome for me. I haven't yet found a shoulder rig that feels comfy.

PS When I pull in "anywhere", even home, the first thing I do while still moving is to undo my seatbelt (illegal, yes). This habit does
(I believe) give me a bit more freedom of movement, just in case. YMMV

Pete
