Regardless of why you carry a weapon retention techniques are a mandatory skill. Most confrontations occur at close range, putting your weapon within proximity of the threat. It’s important for anyone who carries, especially law enforcement officers who carry openly, to insure your weapon doesn’t end up in the hands of the bad guy. Having a backup weapon is another good idea. The unexpected constantly occurs in fights, and carrying a spare weapon is cheap insurance. A recent confrontation with one of my guys is a perfect example of these two aspects, and contains several important lessons. (Since legal matters on this case are still in process I can’t supply all details.)
