Cops carry "in the chamber" because they are at far greater risk of harm than the average conceal-carry-holder. They also have their share of negligent discharges despite all of the training they go through.

My conceal carry is a Glock 26 and I "Israeli Carry" meaning no round in the chamber. I believe the odds of a negligent discharge are higher than the odds of getting attacked and having to use my firearm. I understand all of this is a slippery slope. My odds of getting attacked are less than my odds of not getting attacked but I still conceal carry.

Below is a link to a very excellent article thoroughly discussing Israeli Carry. The author of the article carries with a round in the chamber but he spends some time justifying Israeli carry.
