Do you carry with a round chambered?

[dieseltech09]

I know a few guys who dont. Why even carry if your not going to be ready to use it.

I didn't used to, but I do now. I don't relish the thought of trying to rack the slide one handed.

Look for the sequel thread

I didn't think they worked if they weren't chambered.

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

You would think that, but... On another forum, can't remember where now, someone posted that they carried a revolver with one empty. So his 5 shot revolver became 4 shots. The first trigger pull was a click and he practiced pulling the trigger twice for the first shot. His rationale was something about being paranoid that the gun would go off and he had kids, etc. The general consensus in response was that he probably shouldn't carry a gun.

Im trying.

Its just that in his day and age, shock value gathers more attention than articulate prose.

Think about the bad habits people create. Did I chamber a round? Am I carrying today without a round? Do I rack the slide when I draw?

Honestly, if a person does have to draw the last thing they need to worry about is if they have a round in the chamber.
