[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1951881, member: 24428"] Again, I carry chamber loaded and don't disagree with the benefits of doing so. I'm taking into consideration the fact that for the most part..... the people on this forum are experienced gun guys & gals who have probably sent thousands of rounds down range. That some of you are probably financially able to buy extremely nice guns, lots of ammo, pay range fees or have property where you can go shoot, and can afford all kinds of gun / self defense related classes. That said, some people [especially single moms and older people on fixed incomes in the metro areas] are barely getting by and can't afford the ammunition to go practice, can't afford range fees, nor additional SD classes. They did without and scraped the money together to buy a gun & get a pemit because they are scared of the times we live in. And the only additional "Training" they might possibly get is reading a forum like this one. Some of those people may have made a poor choice in buying a semi-auto instead of a revolver. They may have had a friend give them bad advice or they bought the only gun they could afford... like a used Hi-Point. They just bought a gun because they are afraid and wanted some kind of protection. If someone like that who doesn't have a lot of experience with a gun prefers to carry with a unloaded chamber, it is still far better than a gun locked in a car trunk, one left at home or having no gun at all. I'd rather they carried a semi-auto with a empty chamber until they gain confidence with their weapon.... as they are the ones likely to have a accidental discharge in public. U][B]But I definitely think they should only carry concealed[/B][/U]. For them, if they ever needed their weapon, it wouldn't be to much more time & effort than what racking a round into a 12 ga shotgun at home would be. [/QUOTE]
