disagree with the empty chamber advice. there are tons fo stories about children shooting guns because there already was a round in the chamber, often with tragic results. unless you’re a cop, my advice is nothing in the tube

Everyday carry AND RELATED procedures should be such that children can’t access the weapons. Just IMHO.
Why would you leave a gun where a child could get it?
Same here. I have seen accidental discharges because somehow clothing was able to catch or tangle with the trigger going into or out of the conceal holster. I only rack one in when I think I am going into a situational environment where I might need immediate one handed capability, then clear it back out after I am in a more relaxed environment again. It only takes one second to charge it.
A whole nuther set of rules violated in those cases. Any loaded gun, regardless of chambered or not, should not be accessible to unauthorized persons of any age.
Others probably have already chimed in, but one has to ask “how does a child or other unauthorized person obtain your loaded firearm ?”
Isn’t it either on your person under your control or locked either with an integral device or in your safe?
Leaving a firearm loaded and or uploaded but not secured isn’t a wise nor safe practice.
