A couple of weeks ago, two friends and myself went to a fast food place to eat, and 5 plainclothes police officers were in line ahead of us. They were generally dressed in "business casual", with a variety of belt holsters and one shoulder holster amongst them, none of them concealed. We sat down to wait for our food, but a couple of the officers stood by the counter waiting, including the officer with the shoulder holster. From the back of the restaurant, I looked over and saw his Glock muzzle pointed DIRECTLY at my head, carried in his horizontal shoulder holster. I pointed this out to my buddy, who attempted to console me with the safety features of Glock pistols, but I was having none of it! I know, I know, it's nearly impossible for a modern pistol to spontaneously discharge. Frankly, I wasn't really even thinking of it discharging. I just didn't want it pointed at me! So, tactically, I shrank lower and lower into my seat.
So, a couple of questions:
1, Are users of shoulder holsters conscious of where their muzzle is pointing? Do you reposition yourself on account of people being "flashed" by your muzzle?
2, Does anybody else get nervous around people wearing shoulder holsters?
