” The state also attempted to maximize the fact that Zimmerman’s gun was loaded, including a round in the chamber, before the fight. But Siewert admitted that guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.”

LOL!

But Siewert admitted that guns are not of much use unless they are loaded and there is a round in the chamber.

When I renewed my CHL in 2009, our instructor was a former cop. He stressed to the people who were going to carry semis that they would be useless if they had to first put a round in the chamber. For example, what if the perp had hold of your non-gun hand, etc?

Although I qualified with a semi, I prefer to carry a S&W Airweight revolver. No safety is needed, and gun is always ready to fire.

If you are going to carry an unloaded fire arm you might as well leave it at home. The chances of an attacker giving you a chance to cycle the slide are pretty slim.
