Haz, old sport, you brought up a good topic.
I have been playing the 'what if' game for years (especially the last five).
I am right handed and carry on my right hip, slightly rearward. I'm a good sized fellow so it is easy to conceal this way.
The hitch is, I often have to use a walking cane for assistance, particularly on uneven terrain. I use the cane with my right hand also. So, therefore I have had to implement my own set of defensive strategies and 'what if scenarios' to try and cover all the bases.
For example, if attacked, I am not physically able to run or seek cover rapidly (thank Heavens for the Castle Doctrine) so I am relegated to stand my ground and ward off the attack or threat. So I practice ditching the cane and drawing from concealment regularly, and from various angles. I also practice using the cane as a weapon.
I am in a constant state of awareness concerning my surroundings because bad people prey on those they perceive as 'weak' such as a person with a cane.
Good topic.....hope there is a lot of discussion on this........
