Re: Marble Falls ... Finest !

I don't know what street survival says, but Taser used to recommend carrying their weapon this way. The thought then was that it was easier for you to distinguish between it and the real pistol in a hurry.

After the California (BART I think) shooting, this is being rethought. Some people think the dominant hand under stress went to the pistol since he had so much more training in that draw, even though his mind was thinking draw the Taser. There is something to this, IMO, but the only other option would have me drawing the Taser with my weak hand, which may make me miss when I really need it. And having to switch hands for the drive stun techniques would really be a problem.
