I couldn't disagree more...
Some may like or dislike SOB, but one should not critize the carry without the facts.

This horse has been beaten many times. I carry IWB/SOB a lot. I have also had thread discussions with 'doctors' who did not believe SOB carry was any more dangerous (for spinal injuries) than any other type of IWB carry. What if you fell on your side with a strong side carry...no injuries?
I would ask that you post some articles or research showing SOB carry caused spinal injuries...

I'm not a cop, and I don't have to wrestle with perp's...SOB hides very well, and I can make a presentation pretty quickly...what's the problem?

I certainly respect your feelings, but your stated facts need research...

Respectfully submitted,

ret
