These officers were waiting far too long to unholster their weapons -- IMO they should have the gun out and behind their thigh or back.
What I was talking about was not waiting until after reaching a potentially dangerous situation before getting a round into the chamber. On the contrary, before getting within 25ft I would take out the weapon and chamber a round so the weapon is already drawn and ready to fire.
IOW, leave the chamber empty when say driving in a rural or upscale suburb but chamber a round before getting out in a downscale shopping center, for example.
This is all theoretical for me, a learning exercise -- I am not an LEO.
