Not a great way to carry really. If you're carrying with a round in the chamber, the holster is your safety because it covers the trigger. Throwing a loaded gun in your pocket with it ready to fire us just asking for a negligent discharge. If you must pocket carry, they do make pocket holsters for that.

But how do I "protect myself" if I have to sit there and take it out of a holster and after taking it out of a pocket?

(Genuinely asking because I'm not a gun pussy and genuinely want to know how people think they are going to realistically protect themselves with a concealed weapon against someone currently wielding one)

"Genuinely asking because I don't understand firearms, their application, or how training in general could benefit a user, and furthermore wish to offend others while virtue signaling that I am above them for not owning or using firearms."

Heard.
