Maybe for law enforcement or military but for the rest of us it is the way to go. And in this case, if what Zimwad said was true, which it isn’t, he would not have had to worry about the gun being used against him.
A racking takes about half a second and with no other safety it is the only way Zimwad should have gone.

“Maybe for law enforcement or military”

So law enforcement are allowed to protect themselves and I am not? If you have some reason to think you might need a gun (which, as it turns out, he did) you need it now, not after a slow, two handed operation. I repeat, it would be fatally stupid to carry a gun which is not operational. Always carry with a round in the chamber. Always.

But lets talk about the ridiculous LEFTIST notion that carrying with a round in the chamber is proof that you are intending to go out and shoot some random black person. I am not the only one telling you that a round in the chamber is the normal accepted way to carry the gun, I am not the only person walking around on a daily basis with a round in the chamber and not shooting any random black people.

and it takes 2 hands. Never carry with an empty chamber.

Are you actually so unknowledgeable about firearms or are you just a leftist troll...or both?

With Martin on top of him Zimmerman could not have removed the gun from his belt and racked a round. Where do you get your experience? If you carry like you say you’re gonna get killed if you need to use your weapon. My guns always have a round chambered. If the bad guy has a gun on you, you won’t have time to chamber a round. And Martin caught him from behind unawares. I’ve had four times in my life when showing my gun stopped a situation, luckily I didn’t have to shoot.
