How about “Not keeping a round chambered unless in imminent danger”?

Not keeping a round chambered? That’s an unloaded gun. I’m not FBI, but I won’t carry an unloaded gun.

I sure don't carry mine that way.

Good way to get yourself dead.

That being said - I go back to wondering how much he had to drink. He certainly acted irresponsibly. But the gun falling out of his pants is bad enough... it discharged via his picking it up (MIS-handling).

Too slow. Condition 2 is the best carry method, you just have to not be stupid and make sure your “finger” safety is on at all times. When you need to shoot, you need to shoot, not rack the slide or otherwise fiddle with the firearm. Condition 2 with hammer down on a live round in the chamber is a perfectly adequate carry method.

The jackwipe should not have touched the trigger. The jackwipe should not have brought his weapon into a bar, especially if he is going to drink. The way he was acting, it looks like he had had plenty to dring.

Always keep a round in the chamber when seconds count; this was taught to me at my qualification renewal for FFDO in order to carry on the flight deck.

I carry as part of my profession. I am not a police officer. Departmental policy for most police forces and federal agencies require that the weapon be chambered. The military is the only exception.

Like an empty fire extinguisher. Suicide potential.

How about keeping finger out of trigger guard and weapon pointed in safe direction. He totally screwed up firearms handling 101.

Done several classes. No one teaches that. Carry guns stay loaded at all times. No one would take an instructor seriously if they suggest carrying a cleared pipe.

If that is how he has to carry, then he is not safe to begin with.

How about not picking up a sidearm with your finger on the trigger. Just another drunk holdover from the decadent Clinton years.
