    Never occurred to me that I’ve never shot any firearm left handed. Wouldn’t start with a pistol but I kinda wanna try it now with a rifle lol.

    If I shoot anything like I throw left handed tho my curiosity will prolly kill the neighbors cat. Unless it is more than 3ft away, then it’s completely safe lol.

      If one owns weapons, I’d say it’s a decent idea to learn some dexterity with the non-dominant hand.

        That was one of the requirements for getting a concealed carry license in the state I did it, six shots left, reload, six shots right, reload then depending on which target distance you were at either 6 shots on one knee or just another 6 shots dominant hand, but you had to do both short and long range and hit a certain percentage on the target.

          That’s excellent! In case of necessary circumstances, that’s the way. I aim to get my act together in short order, before it’s necessary. Wish me luck, please and thank you.

        Yeah…imagine actually getting in a gun fight and getting shot in the hand/arm only to then be completely useless.

        Get training that lefty (or righty if you are a lefty!)
