And best to have it modified to DAO, to avoid the temptation of cocking the hammer, a common mistake of those untrained. (most people learn their gun handling from the screen, and virtually all of it is wrong!)Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-49011202536157378422011-12-13T22:40:11.538-06:002011-12-13T22:40:11.538-06:00And you might want to want to carry a knife of you...And you might want to want to carry a knife of your own, and know how -- and be willing -- to use it, in cases where your firearm isn't the right tool and/or is unavailable:<br /><br />http://straightforwardinacrookedworld.blogspot.com/2011/12/dark-arts-for-good-guys-right-to-knife.htmlskreidlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213887949057408692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-65486232479991665912011-12-13T21:23:49.358-06:002011-12-13T21:23:49.358-06:00Makes me want to do more protection work with my d...Makes me want to do more protection work with my dogs.

I've carried with a round in the chamber for over 30 years, and never had an AD yet . . .Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-58573502697377772302011-12-13T15:21:25.415-06:002011-12-13T15:21:25.415-06:00Peter, I'm somewhat of a safety fanatic when i...Peter, I'm somewhat of a safety fanatic when it comes to firearms. I usually carry a semi-automatic with a manual safety, but I feel very uncomfortable carrying it with a round chambered. Do you have any feel for statistics related to accidental discharges vs. actual attacks? Any thoughts on carrying chambered vs. unchambered? Thanks.CenTexTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026518638421849111noreply@blogger.com
