Re: Carrying a firearm loaded
Why would you just do this with a Glock? I don't own a Glock and I treat every firearm I own like it's loaded with the safety off until I point the muzzle in a safe direction, check the chamber to see what is in there, check the magazine to see what is in there, and even after all of that my "bugger picker" doesn't touch the trigger unless I'm intentionally dry firing or checking said firearm for a given purpose.
All firearms are "like nitroglycerin" at all times. Like my late Grandmother use to say...."Lot's of people get killed by unloaded guns"
I even treat my BP muzzle loaders the same until I put the ram-rod down 'em to see if they are clear.

Re: Carrying a firearm loaded
This is the only way to know your gun is unloaded without a round in the pipe, otherwise to me it is loaded, and may as well be:

That would not be considered "safe" to move forward of the firing line at my range.
The magazine is still in the gun. If the mag is loaded then the gun is one step away from firing. Even if the mag is out I can't tell if the chamber is empty or not. Chamber flags add another level of security.

Re: Carrying a firearm loaded
I would bet 99% of dipshits that shoot themselves with their Glock have it stuffed in their pocket. If you have a proper holster you can't pull the trigger, it's covered. Who holsters or draws their gun with their finger on the trigger? People who shoot themselves, that's who. I do get on the trigger after I'm clear of the holster and have it coming up onto the target. I've also practiced drawing about 10k times. To me a safety is just an inconvienience.

Re: Carrying a firearm loaded
I keep 1 mag in the gun & 1 mag in the gun purse in case I need it. I routinely practice drawing from the gun purse & take the safety off as I draw. I do this practice with the gun unloaded. I'm real fussy about safety & learned early on to keep the trigger finger off the trigger till I'm ready to shoot.
I've been shooting for just about a year now and thanks to all you guys & gals on this site, I've learned a lot about safety & the laws. Thank you very much.
