    WTF are you or anyone doing carrying an unchambered gun?

    There are also "oopsie" moments, etc.

    The way I carry, neither of those cases will happen to me, and like someone above said, I still am carrying, if not with immediate availability
    It's called training. 1-3 trips a year to the range . You might as well carry a knife and mase.

    It's for sure not a great solution, but neither is being attacked suddenly and violently.
    99.9% of the people interviewed after an incident say. YOU KNOW, I never thought something like that could happen (insert: school, home, neighborhood, shopping etc) here.

    I carry a 3" Colt King Cobra, nothing like 6 rds of jhp's ruining ones day. When i fell like it's a wheel gun day

    Holstering the firearm safely is also a major part of this as well.
    Holstering a gun safely is as important. If not more than the ability to draw from it.

    It's the perfect storm for an unexpected discharge. Or dropping it, or a number of other things. A good quality holster is as important as the choice of the gun you carry.

    I don't know why I thought of Mr. Microwave to the face, but I did. So many people do a sympathy squeeze, I'm surprised he didn't. Trigger discipline and muzzle discipline as we all know are the biggest factors that keep us from dying from our own stupid's.
