Cross dominance is not uncommon, and your gun has to line up with your dominant eye, one way or the other.

Haven’t caught up with the thread yet, but what about those of us who are ambidextrous and suffer from amblyopia?

Talk about being confused!

All we amblyopic mixed dominance people should be trusted with is a machine gun.

Could I get a permit because I am legitimately handicapped when it comes to self defense?

/sarc, of course..... Sincerely doubt the liberal Minnesota folks would buy that notion.

Now back to catching up on the thread, only to your post, but couldn’t resist the opportunity for a bit of mispalced levity in such a sad situation.

Like Zimmerman, I write and hold a fork with my left, but shoot, throw, punch, cast a fishing line, etc. with my right.

My left eye is dominant, but my strong pistol shooting side is with my right hand.

Unlike a rifle, where one has to essentially lay one’s cheek down along the stock to sight in on target, one can actually sight a pistol with either eye one prefers, regardless of which hand it’s held in.

Shooting the M-60 machine gun on target from the prone position was almost impossible for me in the USAF security police, because I had no choice but to try to sight it with my weak eye, seeing as the way the hot brass flies out makes it impossible to shoot lefty (I shoot a rifle left-handed because of a lazy right eye, pistol right-handed).
