carry with round in the chamber?
So I carry with a round in the chamber for various reasons. But unfortunately I made a stupid mistake and took my gun off and unloaded it in my kitchen because id been wearing it for 12 hours and it was just getting uncomfortable. Now I'm getting flak from my family because they find it "unsafe"

I may get kicked out of the dad's union for saying this, but dad's wrong on this one. In my opinion, carrying one in the tube is the only sensible way to carry. If you need to use the gun, you will barely have time to draw and fire, much less draw, rack the round, then fire. A gun is a dangerous tool. It's supposed to be dangerous. It's also a tool that can be carried safely by a careful person. The person is what makes the gun safe, not the round that is or is not in the tube.
I carry an XDm which has no manual safety. The gun has a round in the chamber and the striker is set. My safety is between my ears and the lever for the safety is my trigger finger which stays OUTSIDE the trigger guard until the gun is on target. Rigid discipline of the trigger finger is essential no matter what kind of gun you are carrying.

Just curious, were they objecting to you carrying with one in the chamber, or were they objecting because you were handling your gun in the kitchen (possibly with them present)?

When I first started carrying I did not carry with one in the chamber. When me and ZG talked with our chiropractor and he said that he carried with one in the chamber. Since then I have been carrying +1 and very careful holstering and unholstering.

They need a better understanding of guns and their readiness conditions, safeties and philosophy of use for defensive carry.

What are the two most worthless things in the world???? 
Answer: An unloaded gun and a dull knife! 
Nuff said! 
We ALL need to educate others to these facts!
