While I normally carry with one in the pipe and suggest everyone does... I have been carrying on an empty chamber for a few months now.... I know flame on....I actually have been doing this for a reason that I deem important, and maybe I am just being overly cautious.
My child is still really young (and yes, I know all your 10 month old children know not to touch your firearms, hot stoves, play with cords, can swim like Phelps, and you dont even have to watch them). With me rolling around on the ground playing, the odds of my LCP coming out of my pocket are increased based on whichever pants I have on that day. I don't want those precious seconds between when it happens to when I notice for my child to get a hold of it and do something that I would regret for the rest of my life.... I decided that was enough of a risk in my mind to train and practice chambering a round during drawing until I feel that my child knows better (which I hope is soon).
