This is not a true tale but is apropos, I think.
My partner and I try to run scenarios. For example, she asked me 'what would you do if we were in the convenience store and someone came in to rob the store and we were in the back making coffee?'.
I said, 'well if it was just one guy, I'd try to make my way to the front of the store and have you 'cover me'. Since I walk with a cane, I would need her to do so. Then I said, 'I'd then cover you as we got to the door, and we'd make our way to the car and try to drive away'.
She said 'well you know sometimes these guys have a confederate in the parking lot'.
I said, 'it's a good idea not to show we are CC and it might be best to have the gun in your vest pocket and ready to fire, finger off the trigger, but indexed'.
So, the upshot is that we'd draw our HG and put it in the pocket and be prepared to shoot, gun in hand, and proceed out the door. If it was a case of multiple robbers, we decided it would be best to lay low in the back of the store behind cover until they left.
Biggest problem is the cash register is near the doors.
