Oh my goodness. That pistol could have just decided to fire at any second, all on its own...I respectfully disagree. I have been in line at a store with a guy in front with shoulder holster and the muzzle was pointed damn near straight back at me.
he was wearing one similar to this

Keeping your muzzle pointed in safe direction is the 1st Rule of Firearm safety.
The Four Primary Rules of Firearm Safety
- Watch that muzzle! Keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times.
- Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun. It might be, even if you think it isn't.
- Be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it. ...
- Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
I am well aware of the rules. But I am also aware that every rule does not apply to every single situation.I know you are attempting to make a joke, but I take firearm safety serious.

I used to wear them when driving long road trips, but then discovered keeping it on the passenger seat ( if driving solo) covered by the Weekly World News ( or other tabloid) is just as comfortable.I find them very comfortable, especially for driving.
It won't always replace a belt holster, but its a great option at times.

Oh, the middle pedalIt’s the second pedal from the right…
The issue with most shoulder holsters is that the draw stroke will involve you sweeping anything +90° to your left (assuming you are right handed, and gun is on your left side, carried horizontal)
The draw is one of the more dangerous parts of handling a gun, so a holster system that can potentially have you sweep tons of people is a hard pill to swallow. Especially if we are relying on the average joe's level of skill/ability
It has it's place, but for most situations, there are far better options.
Plus it's usually not cold enough to be able to conceal a shoulder holster round here
I use a custom 45 degree left side holster when not wearing a carry vest, which is my favoriteJust like the question asks; how many of you regularly use a shoulder holster system for your EDC, and why did you choose a shoulder holster?.
If you do use a shoulder holster, what brand do you use and with which firearm?
I almost exclusively use the Galco horizontal system for my Glock with the double mag pouch on the other side with one spare mag and a tactical flashlight in place of the second mag.
