Shoulder rigs can be dangerous as you sweep the inside of your arm on the draw. Under stress there is a possibility of ( you know ) .
Thats why I.D.P.A. and others don't allow shoulder rigs even in duty rig class.
Only once was I successful in getting one of my trainees accepted in a competition with a shoulder rig, but it was a vest holster ( Cdn. army issue ) and pulling the left arm slightly back and angling the body on the firing line prevented sweeping and breaking 90.
Crossdraw for driving is tactically sound as the goblin usually approaches from the drivers side and your muzzle is already pointed in the correct direction requiring minimum time and effort to engage.
And - everyone !
As for the anti's - just ignore them, as they have no expertise in firearms and factual peer reviewed stats.
They post uninformed opinions that are formed by media and government misinformation or their own emotional inadequacies.
They are a cow looking at a train - NO COMPREHENSION - incapable of understanding.
Trying to get a cow to understand a train is a waste of time.
A lion can heed an ape's theories on how to pick fruit from a tree, but not an ape's theories on how to bring down a gazelle.

Thanks for guilting me back into IDPA. Problem is: I have no place to set up my Dillon Square Deal B for reloading my .45ACP
.
Thus I haven't really competed (well, only at the club level... I b0rked the last qualifier I shot and shot novice when I should have shot marksman) in a while.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
.
As for muzzle direction in a car... I'd think any carjacking scumbucket would approach from the driver's side to make sure his victim couldn't just roll out the door and away from him and his line of sight... and also to drag said victim out.
And yeah, I do know how easy it is to lose track of your muzzle under stress. When I was at gunsite about... 8 years ago, when doing the presidential drill, I got TOO excited and the gun cleared the holster and got pointed straight out while I was still facing backwards turning to forwards and I swept (finger wasn't on the trigger, of course) my instructor.
Boy howdy was he NOT happy. Learned my lesson WELL.
