Re: Always Use A Shopping Cart
My wife uses the cart as her walker, and I check her six.

Re: Always Use A Shopping Cart
pretty much the same with me.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Re: Always Use A Shopping Cart
I often use a shopping cart at the grocery store, most of the time I use one of the small (1/2 size) carts. Even when full I can generally push and steer it with one hand. This means I can keep my right arm free. I normally OC carry OWB at 3 o'clock. Thus my right arm hangs by my side with the magazine base plate in the crook of my right elbow. In order to snatch my pistol they must first move my arm out of the way and then release the retention on the holster, while perhaps not totally impossible It would be difficult for someone to do without me noticing and using my arm elbow and hand to counter the attempt. As to the cart, in any self defence encounter you forget about the shopping, it simply becomes used as a barricade, distraction, or weapon whichever is most appropriate in the circumstances. In that respect I certainly consider pushing a cart much less of a liability than carrying shopping bags.
