Why even bother carrying a weapon if you aren't completely prepared to use it???

Maybe a little thing like safety. Nothing like blowing your wife's brains out to remind you that guns are dangerous. Or maybe you will luck out and only shoot yourself. If one would bother to think before spouting, would you rather simply pull your gun out and shoot a potential target; or give him the opportunity to reappraise his situation by showing the gun, and then chambering a shell? The time difference between chambering an auto, and drawing one is neglible.

This is the worse gun advice that I have ever heard on FR.

You know NOTHING about guns or concealed carry!!!!!

You need to quit giving gun advice until you have something safe and legit to offer!!!

You should have learned while training that you always carry the way you train. Always either with one in the pipe or not. You NEVER change the way you carry based on where you are going.

Never!!!

Do you really know what you're talking about? The time it takes to chamber the round is enough time for something significant to happen. I would always have one chambered.(IMHO)

Your argument makes little sense to me. If you aren't prepared to defeat a threat as quickly as possible, don't bother carrying a gun at all. And if you are concerned about your ability to restrain yourself and/or accidentally blow your wife's brains out, do everyone a favor and don't EVER carry a weapon. I just don't follow your logic. An gun that is not prepared to be fired, as soon as it is drawn, is a waste. I specifically carry a Keltec P-32 because the trigger is so heavy to pull. There is no way I could accidentally fire a chambered round. It takes 6 pounds of pressure to do so.
