If you are planning to CARRY the gun;
then LOAD it before you leave the house.
You don't seem very familiar with firearms or personal protection !
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use
I ain't really USING it....when I'm CARRYING it. Right?
Your "instructions" are incomplete.
I've a pistol by the front door....it just sits there in a book case LOADED. I'm not USING it.
I only used capitals since you felt the need to......
FWIW-
