Watching Fox News tonight, NYPD Detective Bo Dietl talked about George Zimmerman having a round in the chamber and the difference it made. The host ask Bo if he carried with a RIC to witch he answered, "Yes, I carry a 9MM and it has a RIC right NOW". I thought that was funny that a guest on a TV news show admitted to being armed then and there...
Personally I think it could make a difference between life and death. In the time it would take you to chamber a round, it could be too late.
How many carry with a chambered round?
Exactly. It's not really loaded without a round in the chamber. Had it not been in that condition, Zimmerman would likely be dead today, or brain damaged. Defense should ask every cop that's on the stand from now on if he keeps one in the chamber, and why.
