Last I checked, there wasn't a rule that you can't reply to whomever you wish on the forum.
I have the luxury of owning lots of carry guns and the further luxury of being able to shoot 2-4 times a week including weekly "Steel matches" and a glock match here and there where I shoot (among other things) one of the small G 26. SO I can transition between my SW revolver (pure double action), my SIG 380 (Pure single action cocked and locked), Smith and wesson semis (safe action as they call it but my carry pieces -a SHIELD and a MP Compact both have the manual safeties on them) and a SW Bodyguard (the safety is so small I don't use it but the trigger is LONG and heavy like a revolver)
i want and would like to get out more but im just so busy, it takes a back seat to many other things
yes practicing common sense is a consideration in my life, weird huh LMAO
ive also made sure my daughter and i know first aid and CPR, we also have action plans for house emergencies and if she turns up in trouble/missing.
also just for further entertainment, whats "macho" about only having one arm? doesnt sound to macho to me lol
I mean i doubt any of this ever happens but say a dog is biting the other one or im grabbed from behind or injured some how? what good would my gun be then?
guess the "smarter" thing to do would be to not use common sense, you know like when people have heart pills in their glove box 300 yards away in their car, or mace with a child proof lid on it, buried in a purse LOL
you fail
I don't keep a round in the chamber regardless of a safety, as I don't think it's a safe practice, but I tend to be overly cautious, since that's what I was taught.

I tell students that if they cannot practice constantly to stick with one gun so they don't have to think about the operation in a crisis. That's why I am a big fan of J frame revolvers. not much to go wrong and while most people can shoot say a compact auto (like a Glock 19) more accurately, I find the J frame revolvers far more reliable and more accurate than the micro autos (like the little Kahrs, the Kimber SOLOs or the Ruger LCPs)
My Dad tended to load revolvers with an empty chamber under the hammer, as an extra safety precaution. This was probably something HIS father taught him, from the days when revolvers mostly lacked internal safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharge from something hitting the hammer... and it goes back further to cap-and-ball revolvers too.
But it really isn't necessary with modern firearms. As long as you keep your finger outside the trigger guard, an AD is extremely improbable.
sounds like good advice and i agree
while im not expert ive done enough playing around and reading to know that there are just some guns that act differently and if you switch in a panic situation and arent prepared it may not work out well.
I knew a lady at work that bought a gun, a lady smith. SHe got it because of an abusive ex. We were talking about it one day and though she had it for 6 months she never shot it or any gun for that matter! I let her know thats the worse thing ever, that she is more likely to hurt herself or the wrong person. We shot together for a while, she got pretty good and she was glad she did because she admitted that without practice if she shot that in a panic she probably would have just dropped it after the first shot.
It amazes me sometimes how people get a gun and do nothing with it.
1.) No, I don't fail.
2.)I live somewhere else.
3.) I don't need to be always armed and ready to repel boarders. Or robbers or burglars.
Seriously? This is a consideration in your life? Or is it just an indulgence of macho juvenile fantasies.
Those who are more casual CCW'ers tend to get criticized for not being sufficiently trained, sufficiently professional, etc, at get terms like "bubbas" and "gun toting rednecks" thrown at them. Those who DO get advanced training and take it very seriously get called walter-mitty types, macho fantasy ninjas or hyper-paranoid.
This sort of criticism typically comes from the hoplophobic crowd, or those whose life experience has simply never included a time when they feared for their life at the hands of a criminal, and don't understand the legitimate concern of those who have had that experience... so we might as well ignore it.
If you're going to carry, it is best to take it seriously and seek out quality training, and try to be the best CCW'er you reasonably can, given that most have limits on how much time and budget they can put into it.
Agent J's concerns about situations where he might only have one hand available are perfectly legitimate and reasonable questions to ask within the context of CCW self-defense.
No one should carry a gun position 1 except military, police, and someone actively expecting an impending assault. People walking around practicing lackadaisical gun safety habits is what causes accidents that are ultimately used as rationalization for gun bans. If gun owners aren't responsible and safe, it give people who oppose the 2nd Amendment more ammo, so to speak.
1.)yes your post was a total failure onthe topic at hand because it was all fantasy based on nonsense and assumptions instead of reality which was proven.
2.) doesn't matter where you live, ignoring common sense is always the wrong move, the topic is about "do you chamber"
3.) me neither, ill probably never have to use my gun in self defense but since i have a gun the smart thing to do is to no how to use it and have it ready in its best operational stage. again TOPIC based
Like i said your post was a total fail, next time simply ask a honest question and your learn something lol
Okay, here's an honest question- do you live in Mogadishu? 'Cause, if you need to have a round in the chamber when you leave the house you must live somewhere extremely violent and very far from somewhere safer.

This is an unnecessary level of safety where modern firearms are concerned, as long as one is well-versed in the basic Three Rules and practices them.
Well, then, ignore what I say because I've never feared for my life at someone else's hands. I guarantee I wouldn't keep my family in a place that didn't feel safe to me.
I'll ask you what I asked him, do you live in Mogadishu? Or are you imagining monsters under the bed?
