Thank you. I had to look it up when it was first mentioned. I don't know much so I appreciate the sidebar explanations. :thumbs2:

Re: To chamber or not to chamber

Don't chamber it.

OK, chamber it. I was just getting bored and thought I'd throw some spice in the mix.

Is your concern the fact that there is no safety? Is there any particular life circumstance you have that would make you more prone to having an accidental/negligent discharge than most CHL holders? Are you just wanting some reinforcement that you're doing OK?
