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

I started to read all the responses, and I was really amazed with all the responses.

To surmise: If you are carrying for self defense, you need one in the chamber for a semi-auto. On a double action revolver, you can keep the hammer down on an empty chamber if you like because it will chamber a round as you cock it with your thumb or trigger.

Any other opinions are asinine, and this thread can be locked now.
