Near my left arm pit, handle pointing down, pull with right and cock with left, only a second or two. I aim for the groin area, two large blood vesselsHe may get to me, but he won't live long enough to enjoy it.there are many chest armour out fits, very few groin protectors.Thats why I'man advocate of open carry. Head shots are high risk targets at anything except point blank.Beside with my weapon in plain sight, secong thoughts might occur to a attacker.
