If one owns weapons, I'd say it's a decent idea to learn some dexterity with the non-dominant hand.

Yeah...imagine actually getting in a gun fight and getting shot in the hand/arm only to then be completely useless.

Get training that lefty (or righty if you are a lefty!)

Yeah id ageee in theory but I feel like I should start in a batting cage or swinging lefty golfing. I am not in the slightest bit ambidextrous lol

That was one of the requirements for getting a concealed carry license in the state I did it, six shots left, reload, six shots right, reload then depending on which target distance you were at either 6 shots on one knee or just another 6 shots dominant hand, but you had to do both short and long range and hit a certain percentage on the target.

That's excellent! In case of necessary circumstances, that's the way. I aim to get my act together in short order, before it's necessary. Wish me luck, please and thank you.
