[QUOTE="farmer17, post: 3372064, member: 8389"] I didn't answer the poll because I carry differently at different times and situations. I always have an LCP II .380 in the truck chamber empty and many times I'll put it in my pocket the same way. If I feel the need I'll chamber a round but that rarely happens because I don't go places where I feel the need. I love my 1911s and Browning HPs but I don't like to carry mine cocked and locked, I've got a Smith Highway Patrolman, Ruger stainless Security Six, and a Smith M58 .41 mag I carry fully loaded in a strong side thumbreak holster when times dictate. I have a CZ 75 9m/m I carry hammer down round chambered, and safety off sometimes but it's pretty heavy, and I'm wanting to buy an S&W compact (the size of a Glock 19) which I would carry chamber loaded with the thumb safety on. I realize chamber empty is frowned upon by the experts but I'm happy with it and the main reason is, I worry about loosing a gun in a restaurant booth, toilet stall, on the ground, etc. like many have done and some little kid picks it up and shoots their self or someone else accidentally. If I lived in a more dangerous area I might have two or three guns on me chamber loaded and ready to go. [/QUOTE]
