| Do you carry with a round in the chamber or empty? |

Gee. Had a cop ask me that one time. My reply? "Ain't much good if it ain't loaded." "Matter of fact, makes a very lousy club. Didn't they teach you that in cop school?" "Yours IS loaded, correct?" Gave me a very stupid look and went on his way. Isreali style of carrying? How to get your ass shot off in style. Load the firearm. You'll thank me later. |
I think you need to have a CCW badge to carry with the chamber loaded! J/K! ![]() Now, really, I carry condition one, on a 1911. If you're scared of that, then you shouldn't even own a gun. You need to figure out this, who are you more afraid of, yourself, or someone else? If you are more afraid of hurting yourself, don't even keep a gun in your house, if you are more afraid of the other guy, carry with a round in the chamber! |
just doing a survey, I personally carry mine loaded but it makes my wife nervous |

I like to keep a round in the chamber (1911). The gun ain't gonna go bang unless you pull the trigger or something is really wrong with it. You could try this. Leave the chamber empty and cock the hammer. Carry the gun around for a few days and count the number of times the hammer drops. See how safe it is. |
