Why do I get the feeling...
that someone that carries with an empty chamber will be put in a situation where they didn't have time to chamber a round and they end up getting killed or seriously injured...
... this will make great fodder for anti's. They will have a great example of how carrying a gun DOESN'T HELP.
I don't meant to be combative, but this is really starting to sound like people who carry with on in the chamber are blaming someone who's choice it is to carry without a round chambered for the intellectual mistakes of people who are anti-gun.
I don't have a dog in this fight as i really don't care how you carry your gun. (that's why it's called your gun)
But this discussion seems to be degrading into a situation where (1) there are "rights" and "wrongs." and (2) people who are "wrong" are now the source of ammunition for anti-gun folks.
It's no more likely that a gun owner will be killed by a BG because they didn't have a round chambered than it is that someone innocent will be killed in error by a gun owners with a round in the chamber. BOTH of these things lends fodder for the anti-gun argument. Ultimately it just seems a little counter to the point to extrapolate the un-loaded chamber into a anti-gun talking point.
IMHO: Carry your gun the way you are safest able to do that, and please don't tell me how to carry mine (unless I ask).
