I keep two in the chamber just in case.
That is an interesting way of viewing the reasoning behind concealed carry of a firearm. I wonder, what makes you assume that those who carry a firearm are "scared"? Do you assume that a LEO is "scared" because they carry a firearm?If one is scared to the point that they need to carry a weapon the fear should be bad enough to justify one in the chamber.
I'm in the minority. I don't.
Personally, I practice drawing and chambering a bullet at the same time as I am raising the gun...seems to work fine for me.
It seems that everyone thinks that if you are ever in the situation where you "need a gun" that you'll have only a split-second to draw and shoot. For me, I don't imagine most situations will be like an old western, the quickest to draw wins. I'd be interested to see any studies/data/first-hand experiences on the subject.
I'm ready...
How is this even a question?
On thing I have been thinking about is ONLY in the situation of a gun in the night stand, not chambering a round.
Reasoning:
It is dark and you are sleeping. Middle of the night sound, you will min most situations have time. WHat I am thinking you would avoid in that sleepy dark, panicky grab for the gun in the middle of the night inadvertently snatching the trigger and send a round in the next room and alerting the BG.
What do you think?
