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

I teach security officers & failure to have the handgun with a round chambered is cause for dismissal. On rare occasions have found officers on duty who forgot to load weapon. Usually due to reporting late for shift. They are transferred immediately to non-armed sites. Any time I carry my handgun(s) off duty they are loaded with spare magazines or speed loaders. Why carry a gun that isn't ready to fire. Same with my tactical knife. Its fast opening & always at hand.
