Well I was watching Outdoor Channel's "Wednesday Night at the Range" again last night. For those who don't know, it is a bunch of guns and shooting sports shows. There's Best Defense, SWAT Magazine TV, and some other related show. These 3 shows are usually about combat handgunnery, situational awareness, CCing, and so on. SWAT show tends a bit more on the LEO side, but offers info on defensive tactics for everybody. After watching a demo on serpa retention holsters and a bunch of stuff yammered on about CC, while watching the guy draw from OC, I'm thinking WTF. There was also some segment on one of the shows on some shooting school that teaches CC tactics, and EVERYONE was shooting from an OC position. There was even one part where you get to shoot from a car window and the instructor has the guest pull his shirt up and behind the gun grip so he can draw easier, and says this is how you should drive with your CC gun. Ummm, lets see, tucking your shirt behind your gun... oh oh oh that's OCing!
Now,I dunno about you, but I am thinking " if they are supposed to be learning CC tactics, why are they not drawing from CC?".
AND, WTH is wrong with these shows? Why do they NEVER mention plain just OCing, since so many states allow it. Yet it's normal to train for CC while OCing? I don't get it. I also find it funny when they have some ad for some CC gun or add-on like lasers, and they show someone drawing from OC at a range.
