Here is the situation: You are walking home from purchasing delicious hot wings and a 12 pack of beer. Not your favorite beer, something affordable, but not Miller Light or anything like that. You also bought some other stuff at the liquor store, enough that you need to carry the wings in one hand, to keep them level, and the liquor loot in the other. You know that if you need to draw your weapon on the way home, you'll have to drop something.
So which is it going to be; carry the beer in your strong hand, or the wings in your strong hand? Only you can decide.
