I've seen the old James Cagney movies where he's packing a 38 or 45 in his coat pocket and takes out multiple advesaries, never removing the gun from the coat or vest. Has anyone ever shot a gun in a coat pocket and wouldn't this be the ultimate carry conceal way to surprise a perp with a bullet instead of your wallet, esp if it were a close belly shot?? Would the coat cause a blockage or act as a plug causing a dangerous situation at the front of the barrel?? I've never heard anyone discuss something like this or any training exercises on this method of self defense.
