My biggest beef with "empty" firearms/chambers is getting flagged. I've seen a lot of people flagged, and I have been flagged, because others were not muzzle aware of their "unloaded" firearms.
I think many of us have an even bigger beef with getting flagged by the loaded ones. It doesn't have to happen more than once to make one realize that looking at an empty bore has to be preferable to looking at the end of a bullet in the same bore. In either case there are words.
Cold carry never excuses lack of proper adherence to safe gun handling. Anyone who suggests that it does fails to understand the basic reason for carrying cold.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
