LEFTIE ADVANTAGES
Harvard University | Creation of the Sinister: Biological Contributions to Left-handedness by Monica Watkins. "We live in a right-handed world. Left-handedness has been, and in some cases still is, considered an inconvenience, a bad habit, or a symbol of the "sinister". Studies still attempt to link left-handers with socially undesirable behaviors, such as psychosis or criminal activity. The social implications of these stigmas are immense. "Left-handers may be one of the last unorganized minorities in our society, with no collective power and no real sense of common identity," says Stanley Coren (1992)." |

Training the Left Handed Shooter | SIGARMS ACADEMY Staff "It has often been remarked by left-handers over the years that since they comprise only 15 to 20 percent of the population they take it on the chin when it comes to weapon design and operational techniques. In fact, relatively few firearms have been designed solely for the left-hander. Add to this the realization that the vast majority of trainers are right-handed, and you end up with some rather dissatisfied users." |
