I don’t see why cops would laugh. They carry with the safety on and one in the chamber as a matter of training. In your case, you are making a conscious choice for an extra level of safety. It could cost you your life in a split second situation, or save your life or the life of another if someone grabbed your gun and you were able to drop the clip before the guy could fire. But it is not a WRONG way to carry.
Thanks! I’ve never been told that. And the really important “people around me” are my grands, they all know granny wears a gun, they all know not to touch it, and they all know if they see it out and not on my person, THEY GET TO PUT ME IN A ONE HOUR TIME OUT! LOL!
For most people, just seeing it on my hip is enough of a warning, thank God.
Trust me, the mag drop button is my favorite part of my gun, next to the trigger, of course!
