After 44 years of packing a handgun, with many of those years concealed and thoroughly prepared to quick draw if necessary, now that I am a regular citizen again, I sometimes carry in an ankle rig. Being less concerned with someone getting the "drop" on me, I feel keen enough to sense it when I go from a relatively safe zone to one needing more readiness, at which time I discreetly remove my gun from the ankle holster, and put it in the waistband, in my hand, or concealed under a newspaper, paper bag, etc, for fast response (like in a vehicle). You do not have to operate from a disadvantaged position, or wait to draw if you feel threatened, you just have to be discreet within the limits of your surroundings. Having a gun on the ankle that NO ONE looks at is better than being unarmed, or having your gun spotted when you do not want it to be.
