My response was, Always carry one in the chamber, not having one in does not compute with me. My reason for saying this is easy, that is how I train. SFC Scarborough responded by stating that he does not feel safe with a round in the chamber, but that is how he trains. Now my thoughts are really trying to make sense of this, but then again, training prepares you for a serious encounter
right?

I wouldn't be walking around in Baltimore right now not because I am frightened by blacks, but because I perceive a threat to my safety. I am not going to let fear dictate where I go, but I'm also not going to go to a high risk area. You look just like any other cracker out there and there are some people who won't care what you think of them.
I like four wheeling out in the desert, but there are illegals and smugglers out there. I go out with a group and most of us are armed. To be unarmed would be a colossal act of stupidity.
Well, after all this comradery and friendly badinage, I thought I’d share something I was told recently:
Don’t do anything while carrying that you normally wouldn’t do.
Guns are like bottled courage. If you think you need it, you don’t want it.
Please keep posting. It is sort of fun to have a guy who fears nothing and who is so tough that he only needs his brains and hands protect himself.
A guy who must have spidey sense to tell him to avoid dangerous places.
Did you say you were the toughest man in the world? If not I am sure you will get around to it.
LOL, for an old guy who wants to become a liberal lawyer, your posts are pretty much just the standard troll stuff, hardly the elegant words of the superman genius that you claim to be.
Is that you Regal?
No, actually, they aren't.
When they do, chambers get emptied.
When the kidz are gone, I've got one under the hammer.

That's the overridingly correct answer! except that I would say, SAFE consistency"...

Absolutely do not carry a piece that is not 100% ready to fire when drawn and placed on target. If the firearm is inherently unsafe -- at any time -- in that condition, or/and you are not absolutely trained and disciplined to make the transition from "carry" to "fire" SAFELY -- EVERY TIME -- then, you absolutely should not carry it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disrupting your draw to ask yourself, "Is it ready?" "Do I need to chamber a round?" And, then -- either taking that (2-handed) action -- or completing your draw -- inescapably interrupts that absolutely mandatory and imperative smooth, controlled,"trained-in" SAFE transition from "carry" to "fire".
The delay can get you killed.
The disruption can easily lead to a Negligent Discharge -- which can put you in the hospital -- or -- in court/jail for shooting a bystander.

If you are not willing to select a firearm that is SAFE with a chambered round until your front sight is on target, and to train/drill sufficiently that a SAFE transition from "carry" to "fire" is absolutely automatic, then, you should join ranks with our noob, Regal....
“join ranks with our noob, Regal....”
__________
And the ranks of the majority of the world who aren’t afraid to live on earth without carrying a gun.
How do you know who is afraid and who isn’t?
Oh I forgot, you are also all knowing.
Weird, I hope you don’t carry.
Indeed.
And the empty "space to move around in" is inside your liberal skull...
Go to Baltimore; lots of "recreational opportunities" there, nowadays...
Hey ‘Dog, She also posted the other day that it was not a big thing that our Military Cadets were forced to prance around in high heals for some feel good ‘diversity’ commie crappola. Aren’t liberals a hoot? These ‘RAT noobies sure as heck don’t fool anyone here on FR when they sign up and start right in out of the gate with their liberal sh%t.
My carry choice is always 1911A1. Always with a round in the chamber, and the safety engaged. I prefer ‘ready’ over ‘kinda ready’.
No kidding.
Birthdates (on Krypton, no doubt) 12-22-14 and 12-23-14.
That is interesting.
I live in a neighborhood where I, as a caucasian am in the minority. No need to travel to Baltimore to find people of color. Not afraid in my home, in my neighborhood, or anywhere.
My black neighbor has a key to my house to feed my dog when I’m away. She collects my mail, and looks after then place. I do the same for her and an other neighbor.
The neighborhood has had block parties, we have cookouts....all one big happy neighborhood. No need for guns, or violence or suspicion. You should try it. It’ll cut way donw on the cost of ammunition.
My KAHR MK-9 does not have a safety so in the interest of safety, I do not carry it with a round in the chamber........
Your posts just keep getting better and better.
I guess you are sort of like Julio on “Sanford and Son”.
I think Julio was Puerto Rican.
