It's the way I carry every day.

It's the ONLY way I'll carry an M1911 or a Browning Hi Power.

• This isn't Israel.
• I'm not in the Shin Bet or the Mossad.
• I'm not afraid of my M1911s or my BHP... certainly not more so than I am of somebody bent on slaughtering me.
• It's hard enough to get a LOADED gun into action in a close quarters action. I want it to be an UNfair fight... for my assailant(s). I'm sure not going to try to make it easier for THEM.
• NOBODY I know who advocates empty chamber carry has EVER demonstrated to me the ability to chamber a round one handed while a couple of ravening psychopaths is trying to choke, beat or stab him to death.

I carry a handgun to protect my life. Carrying an unloaded gun is the opposite of that.
