I carry a Glock 21, and its safety gives not much confidence, so I haven't been carrying a round chambered. Figure the likelihood of not being able to rack a round vrs having an accident with a chambered Glock is not so good.
But still the Martin-Zimmerman episode made it clear that you cannot always have the other hand free to chamber a round.
So I have decided to do this instead. I am going to carry a rubber bullet chambered. That way if the gun goes off accidentally it is unlikely it will seriously hurt anyone. But if I cant get my other hand to my gun, I can just fire twice to get lethal force.
It also gives me the option of using a less lethal shot to aid in negotiations should the need arise.
It isn't perfect, but it seems the best solution for all factors considered.
Any thoughts?
Rubber bullets are better than real ones.
