An idiom referring to a specific type of drawing of a Man-made Weapon which is physically distinguishable by starting at the opposite side of the body and completing on the same side of the body.

Comments:

Cross Draws are more typically associated with knives, nunchakus, and other non-shooting weapons, but this is not a requirement. This is because one can draw and strike simultaneously, thus removing the requirement to first align the weapon before initiating a striking maneuver.
