That’s the beauty of the internet! You are obligated to listen and do as everyone says! 🤣 If you don’t change how you do things, in accordance with what people tell you to, then you’re good as dead. Just like the state saying “you only need 10 rounds.” I guess those extra rounds are just too dangerous to carry.
I’ll continue to carry what I want, and how I want, no matter what the internet says. If I’m knowingly going into a gun fight outside of combat, I’m not taking my concealed pistol. I will bring one of my 100 other guns. If I’m going to a s***ty part of Portland or Seattle or any of the other blue bucket dumper cities, I carry with one in the pipe. I also avoid s***ty places because I use my brain and judgment. With as much as I train, I can draw my Sig Mosquito, rack a round and put all 10 into the lower neck or head before most will draw and fire 3 well placed shots in the same area. Guaranteed.
No matter how you carry, train. Train the way YOU want to carry. I think the last time me and friends looked up the possibility of being the first person shot in a situation like that, we figured you were a 1 in 182,000,000? This was years ago when we were doing college papers. You’re more likely to hit powerball. For the US, that’s almost 3 people a year could POSSIBLY be shot first in a shooter situation without knowing what was happening.
Again, IF you are carrying one in the chamber, awesome! Good! Can’t be happier for you that you choose to carry that way! If the reason you are carrying one in the camber is because you are finding you’re always in a predicament where you need to be the first to draw and fire, I am more concerned for your operational security, the choices you make, and you’re judgment of staying away from life threatening situations. If your thought is “shoot first and explain later,” good luck!
I don’t want to ever have to kill someone in the defense of myself or family. But %100 I will. After I assess the situation and deem that self defense, or putting down an active shooter would dictate. Armed self defense classes teach escape and evade before drawing and firing. I have yet to see any armed defense classes teach, draw and fire. I’m not saying YOU are suggesting that! The thought is, get to safety and protect, assess, and decide your next steps.
Not trying to piss anyone off or directing this to one specific person. Just saying that there are a magnitude of ways to carry. Choose what’s right for you. Make sure you use your head before pulling the trigger. 👍🏼
