Since it doesn't have fire pin block, so I figure it's not safe to keep a round in the chamber I have full mag in, empty chamber, closed bolt, safety off when there's need, rack slide and ready to go stop, then safety on when put it away, empty chamber and safety off by the way, why ar15 can't put safety on unless it's cocked? design issue? You do know that when you pull and release the charging handle to chamber a round, the firing pin hits the primer hard enough to dent it, right? There is a much bigger chance of the round going off when you let go of the charging handle than there is when it's already loaded and the pin can float. i don't think so, when BCG moves forward, the round moves with the BCG with same speed, so what hits the primer is the relative speed of firing pin minus BCG speed, that's usually much less (if it's even greater than 0) than what hits the primer when BCG/round is stationary in closed bolt case in other words, when you chamber a round, the primer is running away from the firing pin, which makes the hit less hard than when bullet/primer is stationary I assume the FP would be pushed back as the bolt slams forward, and then when the bolt comes to a sudden stop the FP slams forward onto the chambered cartridge. Still, if there were a chance of this causing the primer to blow we'd have tons of reports of misfires at the gun range of from military guys. I always load my mags with the bolt locked open (especially after reloading a new mag at the range), and then release the bolt. I'm fairly certain that all standard ammo has hard enough primers (I.e CCI #41) that the issue is mute. If you load you lr own ammo with cheap SRP's, then you better be more cautious though. Glad to here others thoughts/experiences though. yes you are right when bullet stops at the chamber, the speed of the firing pin hit is about the end speed of the BCG, let's call it X. it doesn't change for your gun (if your gun/ammo combo won't slam fire, then it most likely will never slam fire) when the gun drops muzzle down, if the gun's speed right before it hits the ground and stops is called Y, that's what hits the primer, if Y is greater than X, then it will make a deeper dent. since Y depends on how high you drop the rifle, or how hard rifle get bumped, it varies, it could be much bigger than X and cause AD, that's why keep a round in the chamber is risky |

1 in the chamber, 27 or 19 in the mag, safety on.
I seriously have to question why anyone would choose to use a pistol or a shotgun whe an AR is available. Pistols are small to carry on the belt. That's all they're good for. Shotguns are for blasting locks, less than lethal rounds, and bird hunting. That's all they're good for. |

Locked in the safe, unloaded 
My AR is not my HD weapon this.. and in regard to the firing pin thing, jeesh, that would take a fuck ton of force if the bolt/carrier are forward - use milsurp ammo if you are that concerned since they have harder primers. I had a FAL go bang on closure of the bolt once, but that involved the forward momentum of the entire bolt / bolt carrier, and also involved a defective firing pin channel spring. |

being that it isn't a concealed weapon, or a vehicle weapon, and is just my bedside rifle, i dont see the drop-fire "issue" as an actual issue, practically speaking (for me)
I keep it with a round chambered, full mag inserted, spare mag next to it (to throw in my pocket) and have 10 loaded mags at all times. I consider myself to be "out of ammo" from a stockpile standpoint if i have less than 15 mags worth ready. |

I keep a SBR (loaded mag,empty Chamber), a 870(loaded chamber safety on), and a glock 23 (loaded chamber)at the bedside. The longest possible shot in my house is about 45 ft. It would require them to be standing in the front hall on the very side of the hall and me shooting from the bedroom door against the wall. At very short ranges I'm faster on target with the shotgun or the pistol. |

I use to sleep peacefully ubtil I started reading GD and I found out I needed an AR to defend my home.
Now everytime I roll over my chest pak and ceramic plate poke me and I'm wide awake! I can't sleep at night. With my knee replaced i really hurt getting up to go piss. Have you tried hobbling across the bedroom on crutches or using a walker wearing a chest rig with 8 mags, ceramic plte, and an AR hanging around your neck on a single point sling? I yearn for the days when I was ignorant and slept peacefully with my 12 ga pump loaded with bird shot in the corner of the closet ready to defend my home!!!!
