Before anything I'd like to say it's good to be among professionals.
All of my guns at home have manual safeties. The reason for this is because I am afraid of an accidental discharge or an unauthorized person using the weapon. I've heard tales of police officers saved when their snatched guns were on "safe". Other stories tell of those who were killed by their own duty guns that had no manual safeties.
But the Sig Sauer, Glock, and Ruger lines have so many good pistols that I wonder if my paranoia is unfounded. Infact, I was given a glock 26 and, when the attire calls for it, wear it in an ankle holster. The problem is, and I know I'm going to get a lot of heat for this, I carry it with no round in the chamber.
Am I just being safe or am I just paranoid?
