[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1950986, member: 24428"] No offense taken.. this is a opinion forum for people to give their views & thoughts. If it weren't for our differences in opinions and the discussions they generate, forums like this would be pretty boring. While I always carry with a round in the chamber and I don't disagree at all with the arguments for carrying chamber loaded, I think some of the people above who get so rabid in expressing their opinions against someone who doesn't... loose sight of a few facts. 1. It was just 17 years ago we couldn't carry weapons, as there were no conceal carry permits. We should be thankful we now have the ability to legally carry a handgun on our person... chamber loaded or not. What we have now is far better than a gun at home or locked in our car's trunk. 2. Today, the majority of the state's population still doesn't have a firearms permit. But thankfully there are dozens starting to do so every week... and hopefully they will end-up on forums like this. If someone new to carrying a firearm happens upon this forum, I don't want them being soured on carrying just because a few rabid people harshly criticize them for not carrying chamber loaded. We should teach, not berate. Offer suggestions & options, not our way or the highway! That is why I was offering alternatives.... such as going with a NY1 11 pound trigger or if they were going to carry on a empty chamber, then using the Israeli Draw. I'd much rather that someone reading this forum who is uncomfortable with carrying a chamber loaded handgun carried one that they had to rack a round into the chamber... as opposed to them reading all the ranting that chamber loaded is the only acceptable means of carry... and then they decide not to carry at all. As they gain confidence and get comfortable with their firearm, they may learn to carry chamber loaded... if not, at least they will have a weapon with them verses none at all. And being realistic, the chances of the majority of people ever being in a situation where they wouldn't have the time & ability to rack a round into the chamber are probably next to none. A majority of police officers never even fire their weapons in the line of duty in their entire careers....other than on the range. I've been carrying 17 years and never even put my hand on my weapon [much less drawn it] due to encountering a dangerous situation when out in public. [/QUOTE]
