I was wondering how many people keep one in the hole while carrying?
I read a post about a guy who was carrying a compact in his front pocket ant shot himself in the leg while trying to remove his keys from same pocket. Don't know if story is true or not. I've heard similar stories time to time.
I understand and agree with the tactical reasons for having one ready.However, I'm still a little uneasy with having a round chambered.
I came up with an idea and would like some feedback. I amsure someone else has thought of this but I have not seen it posted.
Why not carry with a blank chambered? I see some good advantages to this.
1) Should I have the "negligent discharge" experience, injury and damage would be minimal.
2) I can draw,aim and fire two shots quicker than draw, rack slide, aim and fire.
3) If a warning shot was needed to get the point across I need not worry where the shot may go.
4) If the wrong person should get hold of my gun a blank would possibly give me that extra second or two to get it back.
If anyone can think of any additional positives, or negatives to this I would really like to hear them.
