“Waiting until you need the weapon to rack the slide is just stupid. It may look cool in movies, but it will get you killed in the real world.”

I’m not a carrier, but I can understand chambering it if one is, and certainly for a cop, as I posed earlier. If I’m going to the trouble to take my weapon out of the drawer/safe, I figure I’ve got time to chamber a round.

My personal preference, I don’t think it warrants being called stupid.
