Hi all. Looking for help on this.
I walk our dog at night, usually after dark. So, in the left hand is the dog leash. In the right hand is my flashlight (usually a Zebralight SC600 - great flashlight!). The other night my dog kept tugging at something behind us. When I looked and hit the flashlight, I was was shocked to see two coyote pups. Luckily, they shied away from the flashlight and I made it home safely. (I live in the suburbs, but we have all sorts of wildlife roaming around)
But that got me wondering what I would/should do when I finally get my CCW and start carrying. Like I said: dog leash in left hand, flashlight in right. If I would need to draw, what would I do? I'm right handed, so I wouldn't let go of the dog yet. The flashlight in my right hand is strapped around my wrist. But if I let go of it to draw, it's just flopping around. Who knows what that would do for aiming purposes. And how could I aim if the flashlight is just flopping around????? I think I need three hands!
Anyone have experience at this? I'm open to any and all suggestions!
Thanks - I am constantly amazed at the amount of knowledge/experience of the members of this forum!
