Which one of you created this?

A PPOT member must have created this video.

My coworker shared this morning. Seriously good stuff. The same video is out there with a slightly different edit. There's a second guy in the frame at the beginning and end.

Funny. But if you really want to break it down into fine science, you need look no further than Ladder Theory

This video was great, but it's really just a derivative of this prior work and it leaves out the intelligence factor.

1. He may be ambi-dextrous.

2. It is difficult to get left-handed holsters. I'm a lefty. Trust me, it is difficult.

3. His cell phone holster may be on his left side.

4. Poser.

I thought about that too Z....still seemed odd to me. I'm a lefty too, have a LH holster for my .45 (A Colt w/o ambi- safety, etc.), but like most, I've just learned to "adapt" to a righty world for most of my tools.

Off-topic but... proper target practice should include:

1. Shooting two-handed - dominant hand.
2. Shooting one-handed - dominant hand.
3. Shooting two-handed - non-dominant hand.
4. Shooting one-handed - non-dominant hand.

This is especially true if your focus is home defense. You may not be able to position yourself in a location where you can defend yourself and be able to aquire a target using the two-handed dominant hand method.

That said, it still doesn't make sense why the man in the video would have a RH holster if he is left-hand dominant, as evidenced by his writing. It could have been a prop as a means of indicating that he's prepared if a crazy-level-10 woman happens across his video.

I bet 99% of the people that have seen that video noticed the holster. However, only on Pelican do you find a discussion about how the holster does not match the handed-ness of the wearer! Aint Pelican grand!?!

Here's the full original YouTube post. The guy is a lawyer in middle Tennessee and represents James Yeager (the other guy in the video) among others. Watch to the end for the "Male" matrix.
