Scenario: Restaurant Robbery

Ex, being seated is an excellent reason for an ankle gun. Its miserable to shoot, but the S&W ti revolvers fit this situation wonderfully.

When I wear an ankle rig I ALWAYS wind up bruising the HECK out of my inside ankle on the other side. Also, you have to watch how your pants "ride up" when you sit. And finally, I'm of the age that a rapid move south of my belt buckle might throw out my back, which goes out more often than I get to the movies as it is!

Cross draw and pocket carry are also things to consider if you are going to be sitting down for a while.

Cross draw is fine for being seated. So is a shoulder holster (same thing, I guess) but have you ever tried to dig change out of your pocket while still seated like for a toll booth or a tip? That alone is a contortionists nightmare, but then thinking about drawing past my LIFTING BARS ummmmm I mean my "Looooove Handles" and getting around (and I do mean ROUND) my past fascination with beer......no way.

I admit it's not as quick as it is while I am standing up, but with a good pocket holster, and having nothing else in the pocket, I can dig my pocket gun out in a hurry. You need a fairly stiff holster; I don't think those Uncle Mike's jobs will work so well.

The main problem I have is that if I'm wearing jeans and sitting down, it seems to create a "crease" across my front pockets. You could feasibly stretch your legs out underneath the table and simulate a standing draw however.

I use a Mika's pocket holster BTW. I love Mika's holsters.
