[QUOTE="RedTape, post: 1951424, member: 66"] I don't think anyone has posted something berating a person who chooses to carry chamber empty. I agree we should help teach those new to carry, which includes the best possible carry condition (which in my opinion and the opinion of those with far more training and experience than I) is chamber loaded. Just one force on force scenario and you'll understand how carrying with an empty chamber can get you killed. I'm not trying to be "rabid" about my opinion, but I honestly believe carrying with a chamber loaded could save your life, and I would hate to see one of the good guys killed simply because they felt uncomfortable with a chamber loaded gun when it was designed to be carried that way! It's just a simple training issue! You said you've never had to draw your carry gun. That's great! But if you are using that as an example of "the odds" saying you probably won't be in a situation where you need a loaded chamber, well then "the odds" are also saying you probably don't even need to carry in the first place. We should carry and train in the most efficient manner, because if you ever do need it, it could save your life. [/QUOTE]
