It would be even cooler if he had a Bowie in his teeth...
And his fancy hair-do all messed up...like spiked maybe. "rlol"

Did he not have it in Condition One (or Condition Zero, since the LCP is DAO)? I must have missed that in the articles I read.
I didn't notice that either.
From the article:
"I holler and the coyote stopped. I holler again. By this time I had taken my weapon out and charged it. It is now staring dead at me. Either me or the dog are in imminent danger. I did the appropriate thing and sent it to where coyotes go," he said.
I am assuming that he meant he racked the slide to chamber a round.
OK. I did see that. For some stoopid reason, I thought he charged the 'yote in an attempt to scare it off first, then dispatched it when it didn't run off.

I was under the impression you "charged" the magazine with rounds before you loaded the gun. Or do you load the magazine and then "charge" the gun by chambering a round? :headscratch
I like to say load the magazine and chamber a round but i guess charge a round would be ok to say too.
Actually thats what our CHL instructor told us...Load 5 rounds in your magazines...
Insert your magazines and chamber a round...
Ready...:fire

Embalmo
many don't agree with your synopsis. To each their own.
You mean a lot of folks don't agree on having a round chambered? I would think they would really be in the minority.
If i have to yank mine out i don't want to be trying racking one in under a lot of stress that you would be under.
The way i look at it is split seconds could mean the differance.
