[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1792592, member: 11766"] Under the current law... a SDA candidate only has to pass a minimal written test... fire 50 rounds at targets so close I could read the Printers trademark at the edge of the paper. As long as you don't shoot the guy next to you, the instructor or yourself you pass. Even if the guy next to you gets 53 shots in his target. Retention holsters and retention training? Good idea. We have a bunch of good places in Oklahoma that will teach the retention stuff. Holsters? They have been selling thumb-breaks along with friction screws every day for years. What were you concealing your gun in before Nov 1 2012? Training? How many of your SDA buddies train? Every been to Gunsite, TDSA, USSA or one of several other good training places to learn how to run that gun on the street? Maybe shoot IDPA to keep those skills rust free? Open carry was the only option in a few states over the years... before CCW laws started to change. It can be done safely and if your smart- you wont loose any "tactical" edge or become the default "first guy shot" if you encounter a bad situation. I wore my IWB with a shirt tucked in (that's open carry) for a long time. Dark guns, discrete holsters, dressing like a benign non- attention drawing person go a long way in OC. Simple retention things you should have been doing all along. Adopt an interview posture... weak side blades slightly ... with the holster "behind" the contact has a further reach to grab the gun. Try to stand with gun facing walls, counters, the inside of resturant booths, etc. Learn to "elbow check " the gun... Aware CC carriers use these methods all the time... they work in OC too. The guy who wears the biggest gun, the most red neck outfits and the baddest a$$ed holster usually get the most negative attention... [/QUOTE]
