    Default food for thought

    I bet it's safe to say that the opportunity to stop most deadly encounters is just a few seconds at best. If your handgun is unloaded when your adrenaline races do you think you will have either the presence of mind or the time to chamber a round and still address the threat? I hope that's the way you train. An empty gun is just a club with a handle.

    So what is a Glock with a round chambered? Safety on or off? I'd think that as long as your finger isn't on the trigger, that'd be safety on. Then you have decock-only guns, like my 225. I suppose that would qualify as safety off, but it's still DA for the first round which to me is fairly safe.

    Put it into the hands of a lawyer, So you say you had time to rack the slide,take the weapon off safe and point it at my client and order him to go away? Then you SHOT HIM? ALL that TIME you could have ran away!

    So...I carry loaded with safety on if the weapon has one. I carry 3 different weapons ccw all are different sizes. all are the same type of weapon just small, medium and large frame. All are from Sig Sauer. Its what I like. I have carried others like Colt 1911's and H&K and several others. I went with the weapon I feel most comfortable shooting and I guess the different sizes are for different types of weather. All are the same caliber. I care less about how many rounds. I care more about target practice, drawing (unloaded of course) and malfunction drills. I figure that if I need more that 5 to 8 rounds of .45 I got myself into something I shouldnt have and I deserve whats coming. I dont belive in Zombies.

    I thought this was a Poll, not a self-righteous "My way is the only way" Beat down.
