[QUOTE="grwd, post: 1856423, member: 459"] Ek, sometimes theyre hot and sometimes theyre not. Id like to touch on a couple things, but I want to emphasize that Im not trying to be defensive, or play like "its my ball, get your own!":) I think this might get a little more 3g info out there, so my words are directed to the readers of this. So while your question is the reason Im replying, the reply is not in its entirety directed to your question. Youll almost always start with a hot gun if its in your hand or holster and its the first gun you use, unless we want to emphasize starting from a "cruiser ready" condition with a long gun, or just give guys an emphasis on how important loading up an empty gun is. Nobody with any decision making powers put down any decrees or blanket statements regarding weapon conditions. We have been known to modify things on the fly to better match the awareness level, shall we say, of some of the new competitors. Its one of those "lowest common denominator" type things. Might not be 100% big boy rules, but I dont need a summons showing up at my house because some goofbag tried to catch an airborne hot gun before it hits the ground! :D You wouldnt do it, and i wouldnt do it, but crazy things happen when folks have three guns to worry about. Cranial vapor lock is not uncommon! Generally speaking if a chambered handgun has a good chance to drop out of your holster during movement and the movement isnt in a safe direction, then it might be "mag inserted but not chambered". If we make ya rack a pistol or rifle, it might slow you down, but if you do something slow faster than the others, then your score will reflect it. -cause this is just a game. We incorporate overt and subliminal skill tests into the stages, to allow shooters to judge their scores with other shooters.
