Keeping a round chambered
Ok guys this is my dilemma. For the past year I have been taking some carry classes, as well as shooting. I have been cc'ing for about the past six months now on a steady basis. I practice holstering as well as re-holstering on a daily basis. What my issue is however; I just can't muster up the balls to roll around with one in the pipe. Any suggestions?

Do you leave your fire extinguishers empty until there is a fire?
Do you remove your seat belts and airbags until you need them in an accident?
Do you put a condom on after sex?

Is it a Glock? If you have a good holster, and practice proper holstering, you should be fine. Keep your finger, or any other object out of the trigger guard.

I felt the same way too, until I've seen enough videos showing situations that required a quick draw and shoot. I don't carry a 1911.

Re: Keeping a round chambered
Two more important questions:
1) Is it a 9mm or a .45?
2) Is it a 1911 or a Glock?
These are the unanswered mysteries of the POOFA universe.
Only you can answer this question. There are pros and cons for both sides of the argument which will be coming along shortly. You won't get any consensus asking that question here. Personally I almost always carry +1.

This has been debated here many times. Like politics ans religion, there will never be consensus on the matter. Do what you're comfortable with. You are free to change your mind in either direction at any time.
