One in the chamber?

I may not be an expert but I can recommend from personal experience... Carry with a round in the chamber! You may neither have the time or the ability to rack the slide. There can be instances when just fractions of a second can mean a ride in an ambulance or not. And how many of us have developed and mastered a technique to rack the slide with one hand?

Without a round in the chamber a gun is nothing more than a very short handled club. A baseball bat is more useful than a chamber unloaded F/A/ IMHO

^ Agreed!

Faux King? Isn't that a reference to Chinese royalty?

and as well as u should know to.nice post. Always makes me think that when a person asks that question, that he is not a "gun" person . So maybe instead of sme of us pounding him like a nail in a board, give him some slack of "just not knowing"
What might be a dumb question to us,must not be to dumb of a a question from the person who is asking the question.

[h2ohhh]

Great video. Think I will try it. But I'm putting a round on the barrel BEFORE assembly. Then I can yell 'this thing is loaded' while he's stabbing me....

Don't own a glock...is there no slide pin on one?

I started my gun career as a hunter. We always carried our shotguns and rifles with one in the chamber safety on. I've never carried a double action revolver that wasn't fully loaded. My first semi-auto was a 1911 which I was trained to carry Condition I. I've carried a gun most of my adult life and never experienced a negligent discharge. Gun safety is no accident. Carrying with one in the chamber maybe a personal choice, but not carrying one in the chamber can be a matter of life or death.
