You can assume they will dispose of you as a witness afterwards. Of course, you can assume you will win the lottery every time you buy a ticket. Neither of them are particualrly likely. I personally prefer to work with the odds instead of against them. If this were a high stakes poker game would you go with the odds or against them? Would you throw away three of a kind hoping you would draw a royal flush?? If it truly is about survival shouldn't you do things to improve the chance of survival and not do things that reduce the chance of survival?

I tend to agree, but as others have stated, no one correct answer for all the possible variables.
Regarding the natural movement of reaching for a pocket carry weapon.....I often practice holding my weak-side hand up in apparent compliance and submission, while informing the aggressor that I am getting my wallet for them. With my strong-side hand, I grip my weapon (worn just behind the point of hip) and draw while moving offline.
I understand that the above mentioned scenario that i practice is not going to be my fall-back plan, but I just wanted to illustrate that there are alternatives to pocket carry that also seem "natural"
Loving this forum! I just discovered it today, and have a TON of reading to do on the many sub-forums. great stuff!
