I carry all the time and never keep one in the chamber. After reading this and a few other stories about how fast this goes down, it makes me want to starting keeping one in the pipe. Since I carry a glock I just like the security of knowing if that trigger is pulled on accident it aint going off unless I have loaded it and pulled the trigger myself. I am former Marine, been highly trained in firearms for 25+ years and know boths sides of this arguement but still..............................I am always torn.

You might consider getting a gun that you can trust with one in the pipe.

All of my weapons (handguns) are carried with rounds in the chamber. I never was comfortable in the Military with the notion of carrying around a .45 or a 9mm that was not locked and loaded.
FYI, I switch between a Glock and an XD40 Friday thru Saturday and a Micro Desert Eagle for work. All with a round chambered. I would imagine that a large majority of the posters on this forum do much the same.

It's called "satire". He was making a satirical remark. You know... like, "this did not happen, 'cause California's gun laws would have prevented it!"

Loosen up and get into the spirit of things! :mrgreen:
Was not fully awake when I read that. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
