99.99% of LEO weapons are carried with a round in the chamber, ready to fire.

Did you see him break away and dive into car? Watchfoxheadexplodes Apr 2021 #9

So what? They had his license plate number; they knew where to find him. Ocelot II Apr 2021 #18

He was trying to leave! Nt USALiberal Apr 2021 #16

Exactly. rsdsharp Apr 2021 #2

Safety? Hell, guns ain't safe . . . AndyS Apr 2021 #3

Yeah, I own a gun but I don't carry. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2021 #5

100% correct! Nt USALiberal Apr 2021 #17

That is 100% false. Cops carry 1 in the chamber and glocks don't have a safety. PrinceHakeem Apr 2021 #21

She's wrong. WarGamer Apr 2021 #22
