Most of the cold guys insist that there's never a reason to have a round chambered.
It's lines like that that get you in trouble, Jeff. "Most" and "never" and other dogmatically presented assertions can and will bring out the worst in people. I think that was what made the original comment distasteful to many. I can live with the opinion and practice in general assuming it takes into account the factors specific to a given situation and persons. The attitude suggested by the dogmatic presentation, however, is more difficult to fathom, much less swallow. I don't think that has to be further dissected at this point.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
