Obviously, you were unaware that you have inadvertently found your way onto a thread posted in the NES Middle School forum. No comments or advice without elevating yourself by name-calling like a twelve year old will be considered valid.
I currently carry a .40 cal unchambered - which by definition makes me a French pussy.
I am sure there will be a day in the not so distant future when I start to carry chambered - not because I feel that I will then be comfortable enough to do so - I am already - but because the "times" will call for it. We're not there yet, although many here feel we are, but it could happen at any time. This is what I am "prepared" for in having and using my LTC.
Not every day (I can't at work - I actually do work at a middle school), but more and more often after I get home, I do carry for the rest of the day. And each night before I lock it up, I unholster it, chamber a round and take aim with the same speed as I would if I were to find myself in a situation where I was about to fire. Frankly, clearing away whatever clothing is keeping it "concealed" is what slows me down more than the chambering of the round.
I agree that each man and woman should carry (or not) in the way that they are most comfortable each day when they arise. And to those who feel unchambered has NO value at all, other than classifying oneself as a pussy, I have this question.
In my left pocket, I also carry my knife (which I practice/am prepared to cut you with if you should happen to grab my hand/gun before I can fire) as I am certain many of you do as well. I carry it with the blade closed. Does this devalue me down to "kitten" status since I refuse to carry it in my pocket with the blade opened?
