Well, Joy, I have read the entire chapter at this point but
let me ask you: why strap weapons to one's thighs if not for
concealment? It makes no sense to me. Do you think a pistol
can be drawn more quickly from the thigh than from the hip
(or the shoulder, for that matter)? If not for concealment,
why the thigh? What makes that superior to the shoulder or
the hip? Especially when one considers that the thigh
automatically imposes a friction problem not there when using
the hip or shoulder option? Come on! As a gun collector
(and nut) I have numerous hip and shoulder holsters. This
makes no sense.
