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

And people who handle guns like I do, NEVER have to explain an accidental death, accidental discharge or have a gun get dropped and kill an innocent. I think the idea of carrying a gun with a live round chambered is both stupid and dangerous. And I think most hospitals, and gunshot victims would likely agree with me. People may still commit stupid acts, and hit an innocent, but they certainly knew that the gun was going to discharge when it did. Thinking for yourself doesn't hurt nearly as much as you have been told it does.

You handle guns without proper training and people like you are a bane to responsibly trained gun owners.

Are you too good for training??? Your arrogance of ignorance is stinking this thread to high heaven!!!

"And people who handle guns like I do, NEVER have to explain an accidental death, accidental discharge or have a gun get dropped and kill an innocent."

The same could be said for those who are denied the right to own or carry guns, which is what the gun-grabbing tyrants are all about.

Are you hostile to gun rights, or just incapable of conceiving that a cop could do something stupid and dangerous?

They may, however, have to explain that they got killed by the bad guy while they were fumbling around trying to chamber a round after drawing.

Or rather, the cops might be explaining that to his next of kin.

(Flipping the safety off can be done one-handed, while drawing, chambering a round can't. If the safety mechanism on your gun doesn't prevent "accidental discharge", you need to get it fixed or get a new gun.)

I'm with you one this one. I believe in carrying with the round UNchambered, to be chambered only if the weapon is to be fired. It is a practice that makes the weapon marginally less useful to me in an emergency situation, but makes it vastly more safe for everyone around me. A trade-off I can live with.
