always....as someone had mentioned before, without one in the chamber, all you are doing is storing ammo.

Living out in the peaceful country with little ones around, I carry Condition 3 (mag loaded, chamber empty). I figure I can see trouble coming and rack the slide if needed.

Were I single and living in the city, however, I'd carry one in the chamber.

The bad guys carry with one in the chamber, so you should too. I'm pretty sure they're not going to wait for you to rack the slide so it's an even fight.

There's a reason LEO's do. I want to protect my life just as much as they do.

With the amount of home invasions, etc. out here, i keep mine with one in the chamber. When i get my CCW, i will carry 1 in the chamber. it's the only way to go.

I carry my LCP with one in the chamber. But it has been reported on Rugerform that an incident happened when one was accidently dropped and went off.

I carry it in a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster, which covers the trigger.

When I'm carrying--ALWAYS. When it's in my drawer (with trigger lock), mag in with empty chamber.
