Do you carry with a round chambered?

[GlockPaperScissors]

For a brief time I carried without a round chambered. As I became familiar with drawing from my concealed holster, I started carrying with a round chambered.

Speed of action is everything.

That's why I don't like mechanical safeties. I saw a video of a jewelry dealer draw his gun when he was held up, but he couldn't remember to flip off the safety so he got shot and robbed. He only lived because the bad guy ran out of ammo before he put the gun to his head. I wonder if he got a Glock after that.

Carry a wheelie, then you don't have to debate this question.

i don't carry a firearm at all, I trust in the goodwill of my fellow man and the forbearance of reptiles

Look for the sequel thread
"should I breathe underwater, or hold my nose?"

Yes. Plus alot more than one.

Is that a loaded question?

 

[gmar]

Definitely....how come the five people who voted they don't carry with one in the chamber haven't told us why?

A hand gun without a round in the chamber is about the same as carrying a rock in your pocket, the rock probably has a better BC.
