I just wanted to get this out to see if any of you have the same concerns I do regarding potential disarm by a BG. Note * this is heavily dependant on the type of holster being used but thought I would ask how big a percentage will be 'extra aware' of people around them while OC'ing.
I told a buddy of mine that I could trust with my life that over the course of a week out with him that I was going to keep my gun unchambered and I wanted him to find a time during that week that we were out, find an opportunity and place his hand on the top of my pistol. It was not a very good test considering I was hyper focused on him most of the time but in the end he was able to place his hand on the top of my pistol twice. In these cases once was at a coffee shop while I was organizing my laptop, paper, etc. to go in my backpack....the other at my home...which I don't count because, its my home and I am not extra cautious of strangers *duh* he thought he got a second one off, but we will forget that...
The first instance was quite on though...
Note to all * I told him to make sure when he was attempting these touch-n-go actions that he didn't do it in from of a family of church-goers that would see this as a alarming scenario, thinking he was truly going to disarm me and shoot up the joint, it was very controlled.**
So, just that fact that he could do this one time led me to believe that over a longer time of OD'ing it might be possible to lose your attention for a very brief second in enough time to be disarmed in public. I know there are a lot of inside the waistband holsters that do not off much more then a Velcro strap, if that.
What are your thoughts on the possibility of being disarmed?
What precautions are taken, have it be proximity to others, body position, mannerisms while you are focused on other things, to help ensure you are kept safe and keeping others safe from a possible BG disarm?
Thanks for all the input !
