Re: CC/OC with round chambered
Common sense, always chambered. To the OP or to anyone else new to carrying, respect guns, but don't be afraid of them so that you don't have it properly ready.
Don't let someone telling you about loaded Glocks or 1911's being unsafe or using some variation of the Israeli argument dissuade you into carrying chambered. With that said, make sure you go over your carry setup well. Look for snagging points from either your gun or your clothes, stuff in pockets, etc.
You may need your hand to deflect a wrench/knife/gun, not to be racking the slide. I think that's just setting yourself up for unneccesary extra steps that could have dire consequences.
