If I show you mine then it is going badly for both of us. No, I have not pulled mine out except to put it up. I have reached towards it without grabbing it. Being prepared and willing seemed to divert the problem.

I'd like to hear some of the LEOs on the forum weigh in on this.

In 30 years of having my concealed carry, I have only had to produce it once, several years ago 4 gang banger wanna bes thought they had an easy mark, it hit a point where it looked like I was in deep ****, produced a 45 auto and the party was over, they went about their way and I went about mine, thankful that all I had to do was produce it not use it.

You pull it, you use it - and NO WARNING SHOTS -

I carry a glock 27 with self defense ammo in a IWB holster. As others have said, I pull it, I use it. The situation has left me absolutely no other choice but to save my life, the life of my family and/or the life of another person. As a last resort only.
I figure every round I send down range, justified or not, will cost me many years of my life and many tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. But to quote and unknown source, "I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by six."

Never had to pull it, thankfully. Although when I crashed last summer, it went on down the road without me. After I got the bike out of the middle of the road, the gun was the next priority!

I carry a ruger lcp .380 auto in a desantis nemesis pocket holster. Holds 6 and 1 in the chamber. You can carry it around in your front pocket and not even realize you have it. Oh yeah, it weighs under 10 ounces. I also have a crimson trace laser on it. The pic below is what it looks like with the crimson laser.
Too many people want to attach the machismo factor to having to draw a weapon. It's nice to read about other riders who are responsible about carrying.
I still would like to see a LEO chime in.
