Ya know, it was probably in the mid 80s but now I understand why one of our instructors made us hold our MP5s with our non shooting hand while we fired our handguns with one hand. Always thought he was just a little strange or British and that's the way they do it. Back then we were still using that HK 3 point sling contraption and I just assumed it was about muzzle control of the weapon. But keeping a hot SMG / carbine (especially one with a smoking suppressor) away from your body makes sense.
Having seen a couple guys with single point slings accidentally do a package check during a drop transition, I kind of cringe at the thought of a hot 5.56 can.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
