8. I disagree with most on this forum on this particular issue, and am not hesitant to explain why.

I would hardly call that "looking for a fight". If anything, it's those whose latest battle cry is "F--k gun owners" who are looking to fight, yes?

You have no answers and question advice? I know cops who don't chamber a round. Hell I bet some police chiefs require it for safety.

I have all sorts of answers. Ask away. As for this particular one, a handgun being carried for self defense should always have a round chambered whenever it is within one's control. Modern handguns are perfectly safe to carry this way as long as the 4 Rules are followed, and the few seconds it takes to chamber the round could, in a life or death situation, be the difference between being a victim and being victorious.

Regarding the police, every single one I've known of whom I asked carried a round in chamber. Are there PD's that don't? Almost certainly....but the vast majority do.

Yeah see, you are even against safety. pwb Dec 2021 #10

I would walk out if someone suggested a round in the chamber. pwb Dec 2021 #12

The use of weapons in combat and the use of firearms in legal self defense have some overlap, but Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #19

So why do you think that makes you special? oneshooter Dec 2021 #33

I actually have come up with what I (humbly) think would be a reasonable compromise. Dial H For Hero Dec 2021 #21

I don't think anyone could argue against that. PTWB Dec 2021 #23
