Sure.How I carry hasn't changed during the last nine years.
I done told you how that happened.Sure.
I was referring to people responding to 9 year old posts, as if they were from yesterday.
Yeah but if they started a new thread about carry condition you'd have pointed out there was already a thread on that9 year old thread....

IMO it's preferable to contribute to an old thread than start a new one.
Some that carry appendix are reluctant to carry chambered. Understandable. However, statistically speaking, we have a nanosecond to react and draw. There have been incidents where the firearm could not be racked in time or effectively and it turned out badly for the defender.
<>These were some of my concerns as well. My advice was "carry however you will but you have to train for it".
I suppose this can be a start then perhaps said individual can move on to better carry techniques as they get more familiar and confident with carrying.
My main concern is that a person carrying a gun with nothing in the chamber, is counting on having time, distance, both hands and on and on. I am also more concerned about a gun grab if no round is chambered.
So that puts them at a disadvantage in many situations.
Not having a gun puts them at a disadvantage in all situations.
Or a very unweildy club.IF NOT CHAMBERED A GUN IS PRETTY MUCH A PAPERWEIGHT!
AN ALL STEEL FRAMED PISTOL CAN BE AN EFFECTIVE CLIB!Or a very unweildy club.
Some shouldn't carry at all.And many times the defender shot themselves. Or never even predicted the trigger.
I know it's an old thread but I appreciate reading the ideas on this. I carry chambered for the sole reason that IF I'm going to join a situation, I won't want the sound of racking announcing my entry; giving me more time for a quiet lethal shot.
SO YOU GIVE AWAY ANY TACTICAL ADVANTAGE OF SURPRISE BY INFORMING A BAD GUYTHAT YOU ARE ARMED<>
In my decades of OC & CC I have avoided actual violence by just firmly stating that I was armed.
Of course, if an attacker decides to try to “call that bluff”, I’d certainly want to have a round chambered.
I’ve never actually had to “draw” & fire for a Human attacker.
