Thats rather presumptuous of you. Some people prefer it that way and they as much or more knowledgeable than you appear to be.

If it's a preference to carry with an empty chamber then it's a preference made without being knowledgeable on the subject. The only reason to carry a pistol is for protection and it isn't going to protect you if it doesn't go bang when you pull the trigger. Racking a round at the last second might make for more drama in a movie, but no professional is going to do that in real life.

BS

I didn’t say cops shouldn’t have a round in the chamber. But for you to say everyone should have a round in the chamber or not carry a gun is asinine.
