I wonder what this would mean for a revolver, no round in one chamber or no round in the next chamber when cocked and fired?
Except for a few folks and a very few situations, I would expect it would be worth while to get the concealed carry permit, as having to “chamber a round” takes time and when deadly force is required, time is of the essence.
For a revolver, it means no round in the next chamber rolling into position.
I agree with your assessment about time being of the essence. Also, when in a suddenly high-adrenaline, high-stress situation, the first thing to go are fine motor skills. And while practice certainly helps compensate for that, I’d rather have fewer steps to get to “bang” than more.
