I was just wondering what condition you guys and gals keep your self-defense weapons in. Whether it be concealed carry or home/property defense.
Perhaps this is something that varies between person, circumstance, and weapon (i.e. long gun vs. handgun). Give reasons and logic behind your decisions, please.
I keep my home defense gun, GLOCK 23, with a magazine inserted and a round in the chamber. I've never thought that I would forget to rack the slide if there wasn't a round in the chamber or anything like that, but I like the idea of being able to be ready-to-go as soon as I grab it. I also don't have kids, so it is of less concern to me that GLOCKs do not have manual safeties and whatnot. I don't have a concealed carry permit yet, but I'd like to know what condition y'all keep those in as well.
