Carry Smart

imported post

Long ago I developed the habit of carrying items in my left hand so that I'm not fumbling around to make a hand shake. Now that I'm armed it makes even more sense.

In my case, my right wrist was broken for a couple of years before it was properly diagnosed (The break wasn't showing up on X-rays). Using that hand became so painful that, except for writing, I started doing most things with my left hand. The wrist was partially fused in 1996 when the bone started dying, and I had the rest of the mutilated cartilage removed in 2003. Now, except for felt recoil, my wrist is fine. But I still do a lot of things with my left hand. As a matter of fact, my right front pocket stays nearly empty. Also, I've begun, more and more, to carry things mostly with my left hand, leaving my right one free.

SA aside, sometimes I prefer to carry an item or my coffee strong hand if only to occupy that hand with something as opposed to having it dangling around my sidearm. It may serve to "disarm" those with alarmist tendencies. YMMV.

In the police academy, for at least the first few weeks, the instructors would actually slap anything you were carrying in your "strong hand" out of it...Books, lunch, etc. Gets the point through.
