    Only if you point it at your junk. Or OC. Or both, which I like to refer to as "pirate carry". OWB appendix, preferably with a sash and no holster. You ever see anyone fuck with pirates? No. Because right gun carried AOWB OC in a sash. Win.

    I've never heard of a pirate being killed in the streets.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    The disconnect in this thread is really interesting to me. Boiling it down, on the one hand, there's a group that says competition is a useful addition to the rest of a well-rounded practice regimen because, among other things, it subjects one to pressure while shooting and it allows one to measure certain important shooting skills both by objective standards and by reference to other shooters. On the other hand, VM says competition will inevitably set one up for a mindset failure. Sifting through VM's posts, it seems that the reason he's opposed to competition is because he expects that if someone competes, then all they will train for is competition, leading inevitably to ingraining habits that aren't optimized for a non-competition setting. But VM also says, I think, that training under pressure and measuring skills by comparison to real standards is important. It seems to me that the only real point of disagreement here is whether someone can compete without making that the raison d'etre for all of their shooting practice. There may also be some disagreement as to whether competition does, in fact equal shooting under pressure and measuring skills by objective standards, etc., but I can't really tell. Basically,

    I have never heard it put any better than that before or since.
    Paul Howe said this a few times during the class I took with him. I've repeated it often since that time, to myself and others as needed. It can't be stressed enough.
