      This really doesn’t look very practical. Certainly it looks as though it would be very awkward to draw your gun from such a holster.😂https://twitter.com/sail_ME57/status/1340339845982347267 …

      That’s ignoring the fact that, given where it’s aimed, the gun, if it were to go off accidentally, would be likely to take out a common carotid artery or subclavian artery, resulting in rapid exsanguination.

      It could possibly even hit the root of the aorta and/or the heart. Fractal ignorance of anatomy going on here!

      But, hey, I guess that blowing a hole in one or more of your major arteries so that you bleed to death so rapidly that help almost certainly can’t reach you in time to save your life is one way to own the libs.😂

      True. As trauma surgeons know, it can be really difficult to gain rapid proximal control of those particular arteries...

      Even just doing central lines up there can be dicey in some situations. I'd have to have to do "open" stuff in that region!😬

      If I recall, it’d probably take a median sternotomy to get control of those vessels, but I do remember there were other techniques.
