If you carry, Do you have one in the chamber?
The reason I ask is that on another forum here, there was a poll about carrying hot while hunting.
Some believed it unsafe, some thought it was fine.
Just wondering what everyone's take would be concerning carrying a weapon on their person.

Think carefully and read that train wreck of a thread before you answer. Understand that any answer you give will be wrong.

When hunting, always except for woodchucks, some of those rifles have incredably light triggers.

I have NO guns to carry.
In fact, I have no guns.
I simply post here to watch Tom and Dave go at it.

I spend most of my life in trouble so what the heck, I will answer. When I carried I carried a Ruger security-six so there was always one in the chamber, so to speak. If/when I quit driving truck and can carry again it will be a 1911 so yes once again, cocked and locked is the only way to go. Not carrying on in the chamber when carrying concealed is in my opinion dumber than a box of rocks. OK, my neck is out, bring down the ax and let's get it on!

1911, cocked and locked. Revolver, hammer down on an empty chamber. Otherwise, why would you carry?
Nobody's going to wait for you to load it!

1911, one in the chamber, no safety. It's life or death, don't have time to worry about some silly safety. It's all about safe handling.

Scott, I guess I would be on the chopping block also, as I carry hot with any CCW weapon.

I'm partial to revolvers, however the LCP is locked and loaded.
Used to carry a P-93DC with one in the spout. I do like a pistol w/o a safety.
When hunting, loaded safety on. I don't have a hunting long arm that doesn't have a safety.

I like to rack the slide right before letting loose. It's more intimidating that way. Saw it in the movies.
