    I am curious about the odds of having to defend yourself with a quick draw and shoot vs. having time to arm yourself in a manner that still gives you a few seconds to make ready. If your run around in condition white then you certainly will need to learn to quick draw and shoot.

    just curious, how often do you think the later will happen?

    Carrying a gun without a round in the chamber is a lot like driving without your seatbelt on, by time you need it it's too f&cking late.

    Excuse my French but it is just as serous. Why carry if you can't put it into use when you need it not after you ready it.

    What's " contition white"?
    Condition White: Completely oblivious to your surroundings and no concern about threats to your safety of any kind.

    Condition Yellow: Going about your buisness with attention to what's going on around you and what might happen based on probability.

    Condition Orange: You've noticed something out of the ordinary and assessing the situation. At this point, you're mind is automatically anticipating "fight or flight".

    Condition Red: A direct threat to safety is taking place, and you are responding.


    These conditions are taught widely in the self defense community. They can be applied to most aspects in life and are a tool for maintaining self awareness.

    Absolutely, without question.

    If you're not comfortable with it, study the safety features your gun has and you'll realize that w/ an appropriate carry holster that covers the trigger, your gun cannot accidentally fire.
