In the western, cowboy days, there were numerous gunfights between gunslingers. To be quick, these cowboys shot from their hips. Shoot from the hip means to react suddenly. To win a gunfight you must act suddenly, or you are dead. Over time this expression has come to mean that we react immediately.
