    Unlike my handguns, I don't keep my defense 870's round chambered, either. With enough time to get at it the additional spent working the action I don't see as any big deal.

    I don't have a shotgun now, but the last one I had was an auto tactical type. I kept the magazine loaded and the bolt forward on an empty chamber. I figured on racking the bolt. I hate to depend on a safety with a shell chambered... wondering if the safety was on or off... might pull the trigger to check!

    This supports the view that ALL GUNS ARE LOADED until you prove otherwise by clearing it.

    Had a friend bring me a Glock 19 to install night sights on. Told me it was unloaded but had a full mag in the case with it. Pulled it out of the case and racked the slide - SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

    I have always been taught and practice keeping a round in your defensive shottie chambered. The goal is never to be behind the time curve. Would you keep an empty chamber on your EDC? If not why? Is your shottie different?

    Had a detective got me 3 times. Went to range dropped her gun off for me to clean. No mag, full chamber. First time was a bit scary, after that I was ready for it.

    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    Probably the only female that wasn't a violet. She was the only officer a Detective Sgt. I traded cleaning her guy in exchange for seeing her in camoflage fatigues. She retired a few months back. I liked her.

    Now in a effort to be equal we have 3 brand new female officers. Remains to be seen if they are violets or not. All nice to look at for what that might be worth. I think they will do ok but it's tough be new and tougher for woman.
    Actually have two new guys and possibly a third coming up. On a hiring spree I guess.
