I'm required to carry that way at work. Hence KISS by keeping the manual of arms the same. Dig it! I can appreciate that. |

On my AR I run condition one only. But if I was to keep the chamber empty and a mag in it I would keep the bolt forward. Leaving it open just makes room for junk to get in it.

Hammer back, bolt forward with dust cover closed, safety on, and a full mag in the magwell. Then when needed, rack the charging handle & flip the selector to fire. Sucks to be who's at the other end of the barrel.

I was thinking about getting one of these...
 With this, what are my options as far as storing my AR goes? I would assume bolt open is the only way. |

You could have the bolt resting on the cable lock, but the question would be "Can you find the key for the lock in time? You wouldn't be able to have a full mag waiting in the magwell either..... 4X4SC |

I'm not going to use my AR as my home defense (getting a Remington 870 for that purpose), so i'm not worried about quick access to it or anything. |

Either way, the bolt will be partially open. Which means the dust cover is still open exposing it to dust/foreign matter. 4X4SC |

It takes no time to flip the selector. I'd rather have the added safety so you have to rack and switch to fire before shooting.
I use my thumb to flip the selector anyways? I don't even have to look or feel for it, my thumb is in a natural position right at the selector when I grab my AR? |

Most of mine are bolt closed with dust cover shut. But there have been a few times I've left 'em bolt held open with mag close by.
