Every accident, firearm related or otherwise, can be said to have been just waiting to happen...inherent to the term "accident" I believe. That being said....they do happen... and no matter how much control we think we have over every little aspect of our controllable little lives; every single possible action of every single possible minute can not be manipulated by human intervention. Accident is defined in Webster for a reason.I bet you're one of those chamber empty guys.
I am not law enforcement, and I am one of those empty chamber guys. I am prior military, which is where this comes from I suppose with me anyway. It is a conscious decision on my part that shouldn't confront you one way or the other, regarding how I choose to carry. I understand why some folks feel the need to be locked & loaded, and I definitely understand why law enforcement needs to be. I don't feel either is an accident waiting to happen; one just has the potential for negative consequences if the same accident occurs to both.
