Bullet chambered when carrying legality?

[ryanmercer]

You're mistaking us with Illinois.

Or Kalifornia... oh wait, that's right in Kalifornia you aren't allowed to be within 100 yards of your gun.

There are folks who believe it is dangerous to carry a 1911 pistol with one in the chamber and the hammer cocked, safety on, despite the fact that the gun was specifically designed to be carried that way.

I was pulled over one night in Clayton several years ago for speeding. When they determined I was carrying, they had me place my guns on the floor of the car and step out. After a second car arrived, a younger officer peeked in the window and noticed that the hammer was back on my 1911. He came over to me and asked me if I thought I was in compliance with Indiana state law in carrying like that with the obvious implication that he didn't think it was legal.

Maybe we can start carrying with trigger locks on and you can't carry the key with you...

 

[Bushido Devil Dog]

Absolutely, 100% false.

How do these things get started?

Because the "wisdom" of your typical :dumbass: and this --> both come from the same place... --> :moon: and amount to the same thing!

Meh, I sometimes carry with two in the chamber.

Meh, I sometimes carry with two in the chamber.

I do have a coach gun that is a possibility!

 

[calcot7]

No, this is not true. As long as you have the barrel plug firmly in place it is ok to carry with a round in the chamber.

I just carry one of those Blue Training guns and don't have any problems!

 

[TomN]

No, it's illegal to have bullets within 100 yards of your gun!!! hahah

Hey, Obama isn't in just yet!

Bugs Bunny taught me to stick my finger in the end of the gun and then I know it won't go off.

 

[milton]

There is one in the hole of my ccw all the time, except when I clean it

Probably put out by the Obama administration trying to mentally prepare you for their future "draw down" policies................one step or bullet at a time..........

I have heard something along the lines of this: it is illegal to have a bullet in the chamber when carrying a handgun in Indiana.

Is this true? Seems a bit pointless to carry if you have to chamber a bullet before you're able to defend yourself.

Only HG I carry on an empty is my Old Model Blackhawk, while hunting. The series of clicks while cocking it is an incredibly effective "deer stopper". Better than a grunt! Other than that, everything I carry has one ready to go. No law against that.

I think that rumor was started by domeone in THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA

Did you hear this in a gun shop?

Just curious.

 

[NDhunter]

What would you do in a revolver? Carry 6 ha ha?? But really, did you think of that?

I wear a double-action revolver, sometimes 2 double-action revolvers. I either have 6 ctgs. chambered or 12 ctgs. chambered.
