One in the chamber

[BigJimmyRustler]

Couldn't have said it better, thank you.
Seems many other folks here are either 'macho', go to a lot of roudy bars, or are just looking for trouble.

All the posts in this thread you decided to quote post and "hell yeah, brother" the guy that pocket carries a Ruger LCP without a holster as the beacon of guiding light?
Do you not see the problem?

Chambered = Ready to hammer a criminal
Not Chambered = Hammer

I will keep one in the chamber when my proficiency with the gun reaches a level where:

I have a higher chance of needing that 2/10ths of a second in a gunfight(Which is astronomically low)

becomes HIGHER

than my chances of causing myself or my children harm because I have one in the chamber.

This is NOT a knock on guys who carry hot. More a way of thinking based on knowing that I do not get to train a lot and wanting to make sure I dont have a negligent discharge.

Jerry Miculek, is that you?

Always, don't want to have to think, am I loaded or not.
I was taught every gun is loaded anyway so it's already treated that way

It's most certainly important to be comfortable with your sidearm...I sure wouldn't hesitate to carry a revolver as a primary carry if I felt the same way. I do carry a S&W 442 if I don't want to holster & need something for a quick run into the quicky mart & such.

What unloaded gun?
Read again?

Nevermind, I read the OP wrong. I'm in agreement with the post I responded to. I always carry hot.

Good luck telling that to the guy sticking you up.
If you ever have to use that unloaded carry gun, you're likely going to die.
Just get a SA/DA gun if you don't trust yourself.

How often do you carry and not put one in the chamber?

....

Incredibly stupid to carry without one in the chamber.

Might as well carry a brick with you.

This. ^^ I used to think it was stupid to have one in the chamber, but I've learned it is stupid to NOT have one in the chamber.

Never. My gun stays loaded at all times. No kids in my house so no worries when I put it on top of my chest of drawers. Another loaded one in my headboard.

Yes, and even the grandkids know to stay out of my room, no matter what, even if I'm in my room and they want to talk to me. They must stand at the doorway unless I specifically invite them in. One asked me why they could not come in and I replied it was the one room in the house that was extremely dangerous and I pointed at my dog that does not like children. "This is his space." But the real reason is the firearms stored there.

I drive without my seatbelt, but if I'm about to get in a crash I just put it on real quick....

Same, it's so much easier to do it that way.

But it's for the children...

I take the battery out of my truck when I get home so my kids can't accidently get in and drive off. They could crash!
