Nothing has changed my mind and I have lost count of how many more losers with empty chamber guns I've seen. The only difference between now and then is I cared enough to wade through the trolls and idiots to make the point. Now, the info is there and folks can take it or leave it.
True, but likely the only reason any gun isn't "safe" to carry chambered is a thought process problem rather than a hardware problem. I would also add lack of training.If your gun isn't safe to carry with one in the pipe, you need a different gun.
There is plenty of old stuff out there that isn't drop-safe and should not be carried chambered (or in my opinion, carried at all). Some of them are fun toys or interesting historical pieces, but there are so many quality, well-designed modern guns available at decent prices that there's no reason to carry stuff like that for defensive purposes.True, but likely the only reason any gun isn't "safe" to carry chambered is a thought process problem rather than a hardware problem.

And he will probably never be convinced of otherwise.I had a customer tell me that carrying a gun with a round in the chamber makes it more deadly, and can get you in trouble.... I told him carrying with an empty chamber can get you dead........
