    I am disabled and walk with a cane, so if my 40 is not cocked and
    locked what do I do ask the criminal if he would mind holding my cane
    while I camber a round. It should never take more than one hand to draw,
    flip the safety off and aim and fire. Plus in close up encounters (which
    most are) you will need the second hand to hold off the criminal while
    the other hand draws the weapon. If you are not going to carry cocked
    and locked you might as well leave it in the glove box.

    I am 72 year old female and carry cocked and locked at all times.  Especially during the holidays when these people are out in the parking lots doing their “Christmas shopping” at others expense.  Also I walk my dog late in the evening and live in a more rural area just off one major highway.  No way am I going to be without.

    While”Cocked & Locked” is taught by some. I do not.  I have had two experiences where a student is going through training to present his pistol and in so doing pulled the trigger as he was bringing the pistol out of the holster. Fortunately both instances were clear of the holster and were started toward the target when discharged.  With practice it is very easy and just as effective to present the weapon and in doing so as the pistol clears the holster thumb the hammer back. Very little time and much safer ESPECIALLY if you are new at carrying.  PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE and continue your education.

    I’m a 59 year old guy, out of shape and with a bad heart. Running from danger is out of the question. If trouble should ever come my way my only option is to stand and fight. That’s why I got my carry permit and practice often at the range. Unlike some, I’m a Glock guy. No safety to play with, hoping to remember to take it off, just a safe trigger, that Glock is known for. I can simply draw and shott if ever needed.

    Maybe if your students are new to firearms you should recommend a different gun! The 1911′s are a lock and load kind of firearm while some of the Tactical Tupperware Glocks are always carried that way, and do not even require a disarm of the safety. The gun won’t fire without a finger on the trigger! Its all about education, and practice, practice , practice!!!!
