Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Do you carry with a round in the chamber?

YEP. = Unless I'm in a place where licensed carry is PROHIBITED by law, my little S&W Shield is on my belt & loaded w/one in the chamber.
(I don't "go out looking for trouble" but Darla & I are armed, in case "trouble" comes looking for us.)

As an old Colonel at USAMPS used to say, "Handguns are like parachutes. If you need either one & don't have one, you won't ever need it again."

"The Falcon" also said, "Gentlemen, it is entirely possible that you may complete your career as a peace officer, without even once needing to defend yourself with deadly force. But there may come a BAD day, when you need a pistol badly, so it is my opinion that you should always go about your day, armed & prepared for any unfortunate circumstance."
