Does anyone store or carry in Condition 3?

[JonnyB]

When I'm in my car/truck, I can only transport a firearm "unloaded, and fully enclosed in a..." Bla, bla, bla. This means an unloaded handgun, in a zipped pistol-case, and a loaded mag or speed-loader in my pocket.

Handy? Nope. Fast? Hah! Better than a cocked & locked .45 ACP at home? Yup.

Would this be Condition 4? Hmmm... Zero = cocked & unlocked; one = cocked & locked; two = none in the pipe, but loaded mag; three = no mag inserted and none in the pipe. Since there's a case involved, this must be Condition 4.

Does anyone store or carry in Condition 3?

Example, please sir can you wait while I load my gun before you attack me? Condition one so I don't have to ask that question:banghead: .

If it's on my person or directly and immediately under my personal control, it's condition 1.

If it's in storage, it's unloaded and the mag is out of the grip.

If the wife and I are the only ones in the house it MAY be condition 3 if it's just on the bedside table.

If anyone else at all is in the house, it's on my person and the first paragraph pertains.

Do you CCW in MPLS?

Nope -- I said IF I could carry in MN. Waiting for the law to change and hopefully helping it along where I can.

In the safe, guns are unloaded.

On my person, gunvault or nightstand. Loaded and ready to go. This is one reason I like the HK P7 so damn much.

Condition III storage

Hi,

I store some guns in condition III in the safe. I do this to prevent cook offs in the unlikely event of fire. I carry in condition I.

Cheers,

Cocked, locked and ready to rock. The only way to go.

I strongly believe all of you should do it YOU way. You got to be comfortable with your weapon.

I carry my Steyr M40 HOT and my Taurus M27 Tracker loaded, but I have to cock the hammer.

I don't feel comfortable carrying my Ballester Molina .45, so when I do, it's NO round in the chamber. Use it mostly for target practice though.

Cheers

cocked & locked 24/7

THE TWO MOST USELESS THINGS ARE AN EMPTY GUN AND A DULL KNIFE

And all this time I thought the two most useless things were the runway behind you and the altitude above you.


cocked and locked for carry.

I'm with eagles1181.
If a gun has ammo in it, it's got one in the pipe.

Cocked & Locked.

Always.
