Dink I personally do not know anyone that does not carry a round in the chamber. Has anyone done a survey on this forum? That would be kind of interesting. I personally, carry a round in the chamber.

Do people actually carry with no round in the chamber? There is a campfire member here that carries with a cold chamber. He evens argues that it is easy to chamber when neeeded. He is wrong and doesn't even know it.

I can recall seeing another shooting video in Brazil and IIRC that video had a guy carrying C3. It could be the law in Brazil, I'm not sure. That is the law in Israel. So consider that there may be legal reasons the guy was carrying C3. Or he could just be an idiot.

I've never understood the theory. I've always figured if I needed a gun outside of effecting an arrest, it was going to be needed right got damned NOW, with damned little time to discuss other options

You could do a survey but people would lie. It's kinda like everyone carries a all steel five inch 1911 and six mags until you ask to see it. Well it was left at home because ( fill in the blank). Start asking around about at the range, gun shop, etc. like you want their expert opinion on the matter. Then start asking to see their ccw guns. A lot won't have a round chambered. Dink

If you carry empty you might as well not carry at all.

Dink I can't say it's 50% - but I think many here would be surprised at how high the percentage is. I have known quite a few over the years who do it and defend the practice with their own "logic". Several of them immediately come to mind.

He is wrong and doesn't even know it. Apparently if that's based on someone's feelings though, it's OK according to you in that other thread.
