I think up til now he just put one in each back pocket of his jeans.

While it sounds funny, I've ran plenty of training drills and some USPSA stages that mandated carrying a prop while shooting.

The tough ones were those that mandated carrying the prop with your strong hand.

I had my son hold a 22lb chunk of wood, draw, and shoot timed to give him a feel of what it would be like if he was attacked while holding my grandson.
Does that count?

Guy buying a 6 pack pulls his firearm and shoots a robber at a store, while holding his 6 pack. Was in the news a few days ago. Caught on the stores camera. Guy doing the shooting looked very calm. I believe he was more annoyed that some azz hat was delaying his beer purchase.

It would toughen up your grandson if he was dropped, two birds with one stone...

This is why I generally avoid using my dominant hand to hold anything if possible, I can draw offhand but it's awkward at absolute best.

Same here. also a continuation of my Army days, always need your right hand free to salute. Since I am right handed -

 

[MrSmitty]

I'm guessing shooting AFTER consuming a six pack, is greatly discouraged?........

"Because he's a three-time convicted felon, he could face up to life in prison."

Yeah, you'd hate to keep a proven repeat criminal in prison for too long and deprive him of his rights.........

Most likely not with the Liberal Utopia that is Nashville.

Kind of in line with having suffered an injury to your dominate hand/arm, and are unable to use it, so you have to continue with your 'off-hand' to defend yourself! Being methodical, patient, and accurate becomes very important!

As it happened in during the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, when it was found out the local kings were angry about Nehemiah's efforts and plotted to fight against Jerusalem and disrupt the repairs, in Nehemiah, 4:16-18, "From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me."

They carried both a tool and a weapon...preparedness matters.

I am still confused about what Nashville has to do with this. The shooter was from Dowagiac, Michigan. The store is in Cassopolis, Michigan. The "Police" sign in the video clearly states, "Cassopolis, Michigan" and includes the street address. The reporter even signs off from Cassopolis, Michigan. Is Nashville a tiny burg outside of Cassopolis? Somebody help me out, please.

If anyone remains interested, here is a follow up from WNDU-TV in South Bend, IN.

Prosecutors: Customer who shot suspect during attempted robbery in Cassopolis was justified

After reviewing evidence, the Cass County Prosecutor’s Office determined that the customer’s actions were lawful and justified in terms of self-defense and the defense of others.
