Long story short: after a long walk with my girlfriend the other evening I removed my J frame to see if it had any sweat on it.
Well it didn't, and to my abject terror it didn't have any bullets in it either.
I started thinking "what the ****?" and remembered that I had wiped down the pistol over the weekend. Of course I unloaded it to clean it up but I have not a clue as to why I wouldn't have kept it unloaded.
So I was carrying my CCW, as loaded, for 3 days. This was disconcerting to say the least.
The only good news is that I carry 2 speed loaders (they had rounds) and have practiced malfunction drills enough that if I had to "shoot" (with an empty gun) I can reload pretty fast if needed.
No need to get paranoid, just be sure to check every once in a while.
We all make mistakes, so please learn from mine.
Take care,
