As they are speaking about the USA, are you able to keep in mind watching those elderly western films where there is the shootout in the street outside the saloon? You can envisage the scene. There's the adversaries, facing each other, there hands by their sides, prepared to draw their guns from their holsters.
If you live in any of the Southern States of the USA you will know exactly what is meant by that saying. It means basically that you are sitting in an advantageous or privilege position. It is a bit like they might say, `sitting pretty` which has a similar meaning. Sometimes sitting may even be the reason for something that does not set you apart as being superior; in fact, it can set you apart as being dull!
What drew my attention to this particular person was the holster they had on his trouser belt. It looked like the ones they had in those western films, with guns in them! But in his case, it had a mobile phone it. Now it had taken me all my time to come to terms with the `bum bag`! Keep in mind them? They were those ridiculous small plastic mini satchels that you had on a stretchy elastic belt around your waist, which you put your money & other things in. They were also heaven sent for thieves & muggers & soon disappeared in to the sundown of the 90s.
I had this vision in mind when I saw thus man come in to the local pub with a group of loud friends. All of us know the kinds. They must laugh the loudest so that you can not conduct a conversation without it being punctuated by peels of raucous laughs for effect.

After some time, I gave up trying to hold conversations against the backdrop of constant bellowing laughter form behind me, so I decided to finish the remainder of my drink & slowly & when I had done it, I would make an early exit. However, I was one time intrigued by their conversation about mobile phone insurance. It would not normally be an thrilling topic of conversation, but what struck me was the growing level of animosity between definite members of the group about various events & happenings over recent years when some kind of catastrophe had overtaken their rings.
From what I could collect, the man with the holster was castigating of his friends about the cost of mobile phone insurance & the way it was utterly unnecessary. It would appear that his mate worked for an insurance company, so they was naturally standing his corner so to speak.
Thankfully, the eruption of voices appeared to be ebbing away & they were making their way to their seats in the restaurant. A few moments later there was the familiar sound of peels of loud laughter, this time however, followed by the `holster man` marching out side to his automobile & driving away at high speed!
