Re: To chamber or not to chamber
I did a lot of reading and thinking before deciding to carry. It was a short period, maybe only a couple of months, after getting my first gun after my daughter was born. It had occurred to me that I might also need it away from the house. I also spoke to a few people, and a couple of police officers, regarding my options and tactics. From those talks I decided on what might be the simplest and probably most reliable gun, the Glock.
I have carried condition ZERO all the time from day one. I figured that if and when the time came for me to need a gun I would be under a lot of stress and would need it NOW. I didn't want to take any chances with a safety switch. If I carried with it off I might forget and switch it on. If I carried without a round chambered I might forget and pull the trigger only to hear "click." So, I bought a Glock and went straight to condition ZERO and haven't looked back.
I like the looks of a lot of other guns, but I didn't get one for looks. Other than at the range, my wife and daughter are the only ones to have seen either of my Glocks. Not even any of my other family members have seen them away from the range. Unless I ever OC somewhere, the only time anyone else will see them they will wish they hadn't.
BTW, if I ever OC somewhere it will still be condition ZERO.
