In TX, nobody in my class owned a holster except me and the instructor.
My NC class didn't have to draw, although I had a holster to keep my gun in anyway.
From my research, TX does not even require armed security training courses to draw from a holster
You are in deep trouble if you let the sitiuation get to the point it's a quick draw contest. That's the stuff of movies and dime novels. The old saying, "A gun in the hand beats two in the holster" is very true. OK, so I just made it up but, it is true!.
Yessir, you are very correct on that observation. From the presentations I have seen done by IDPA noobs; I cringe at the thought of having up to 10 novices drawing at the same time. I'd have to have EMS on the range to patch up all the holes in the students.
