I mean the hole in the wall where the money comes out.)
I always carry with just a mag in and chamber empty. If you dont have time to rack the slide, you shouldnt be where you are.
Well useing that logic then why carry a gun in the first place because if you're not where you should'nt be then there should be no need for one.I always carry with just a mag in and chamber empty. If you dont have time to rack the slide, you shouldnt be where you are.
While I would agree you should have an honest discussion I would also point out that if my wife is that concerned about firearm safety enough to recomend that I don't chamber a round then she should also be knowledgible enough about firearms saftey in general to not go around handleing it as well.So... We are setting up an environment where someone thinks a gun is not chambered and ready to shoot when in reality it is?
Respect the wife, have the conversation open and be honest what you're doing for everyone's safety. She worried about you daily while a LEO, she deserves it.
I understand your concerns about respecting spouses. I respect mine but if she ever told me not to bother seat belting myself or my son in the vehicle, I'd "respectfully" decline her request. Just because I don't drive for a living any more doesn't mean I don't still run the risk of being in an accident.
Just because he's not responding to crimes anymore doesn't mean he doesn't still have the potential to encounter one.

SO when Joe head breaks into your home with a weapon in hand, that means you should NOT of been home and it's your fault you are now dead and you wife and kids have been raped cause you couldn't rack the slide in time.
That's one of the largest leaps of logic and "what if" I've read on this forum.
How did they crash through my door and close the distance to me and begin raping my wife before I could rack the slide? I'm confused, and clearly covered in molasses.
Home invasions come to mind??? Come through the door, weapon in hand, shoot you, subdue your wife then child, and then they do as they wish with them.
I tire of the "what-ifs" on this forum. I know my wife would be pissed if I told her a gun wasn't chambered when it was. I consider myself less of a man if I lie to my wife to avoid confrontation and get my way. EOM.

Just tell your wife that just because you are no longer LEO. Does not mean that the bad guys and girls you arrested no longer hate you.I have had to make trips to Indy about 3 times a week. When I do I have been OC'ing my 1911. My wife felt the need to tell me that I am no longer LEO and that I don't need to carry a round in the chamber anymore. She told if I was on patrol that would be different because I may be called upon at anytime to action, but I should have time to chamber a round if I needed. I didn't even argue the point with her. She is very supportive of my gun lifestyle. She doesn't give me much grief at all, but she doesn't understand how quickly something can go down. I value my wife's opinion as she is my best friend, but I think I'll ride with one in the chamber.
