me too. just trying to get people to get good with their weak hand.

It's nothing a couple broken right arms won't take care of lol.Conversely, right-handed people rarely get challenged (or even given the opportunity) to use their left.
I do not, currently,I've never carried more than one gun.
Excellent idea.Recently, I've added a pepper spray to my carry equipment.
I cannot deal in hypotheticals.If my car got mobbed by a group of protestors and someone broke the window, I'd probably hit them with the pepper spray first.
I carried a snub in a pants pocket for a while. I found that I could not draw while moving off line, while running, or while seated.I have to go pocket or 5 o'clock for a weak hand draw, I can't manage a second gun AIWB and something small like the LCP (and possibly max) is still pushing it for pocket carry on me, if I don't want it to look very obvious I have something big in my pockets.

I agree, but not to the extent that I would want to plan on whether to use spray or deadly force first in the event of a forcibly broken window.I guess you can use the word "hypotheticals", but it can't be right to give no thought to how to handle different situations.
Never watched it. The character name did not seem believable.The best 4 barrel Sharps was Yancy Derringer, who had one in each sleeve, one on each side of his vest and one in his hat. I loved that show but now was disappointed to find out that the actor (Jock Mahoney) was Sally Fields step-father and abused her.
I seem to be “hard-wired” to use my right hand to reach for my right hip area. The scientific term is “myelination.”
I seldom carried a secondary weapon during my career, but for the time I did do so it was an older S&W 649 Bodyguard, in a raincoat. Wearing a raincoat over my suit or sport coat could sometimes make accessing the belt gun a bit less easy, so having the little snub in the outside raincoat pocket was a fast and easy option. Especially since I could fire it through the coat pocket, if need be.
That, of course, can be changed. I have now done that myself.The only gun that I have that would "qualify" as a BUG is....

When my former agency finally got around to addressing the practice of carrying secondary weapons in policy, one of the things required was that any approved secondary weapon had to come through the same qualification range as the duty weapon. Off-duty weapons could be taken through a more common, standardized course-of-fire, or whatever the more difficult duty weapon course-of-fire might be for any given session, depending on the time available and/or what the owner preferred.
Other requirements were that the minimum caliber authorized was .380ACP (for pistols) and .38SPL (for revolvers), and the weapon had to be approved for use by the range staff (good quality, modern manufacture, etc) ... and it had to reliably function to pass whatever course-of-fire was involved (of course).
In my younger days as a cop I saw a lot of guys carrying K-frame snubs and Colt Commanders as secondary weapons (to their service revolvers), but also the occasional .380, .32, .25 or .22LR.
Probably not unless you have some serious dexterity in your toes.Are there significant advantages to a BUG if shooting with your weak hand isn't a good option?
