I'd prefer a more modern design, but good sentiment nonetheless.

I learned a new term from 3 of 7 on his Sig p938 demonstration... "dead man's gun" - when a gun isn't cocked or chambered.
spoken like someone that either owns one or no guns.
Those guns shouldn't be loaded at that time. They guns are for trap shooting or duck hunting, and they clearly aren't at the stage in which they'll fire.
Their sidearm should be loaded tho.

I don't carry with one in the chamber. I rack then shoot. I'd rather rack and shoot then remember to flip a fucking safety off before firing. I don't fuck with safeties.
I wish I could find it but I had seen this video giving scenarios of an attack. These were done at distances starting at 5ft up to I think 30ft.
There were two setups, round in chamber and round out of chamber.
With a round out of chamber the defender needed 20ft to draw, rack, and shoot in order to stop the attacker.
With a round in chamber you were successful at all ranges.
If you are going to carry a gun, fully commit to carrying a gun.

I appreciate the advice. I've seen some of the videos about how quick a guy can rush you. There are times when I put one in the chamber (ATM, crowds, rolling up to a new place with people I don't know, etc). When I'm in a low key environment (running in the woods, chilling in a park with nobody close) I keep it out of the chamber. I also train both ways to be as quick as I can with both.

The problem with training both ways is that you're developing muscle memory that will fail you, you will either end up 1 round short, because you rack one out onto the ground, or you will end up dead because you didn't rack it and it was empty
OP is right, your boogerhook is your safety

The only thing I don't like about one in the chamber is with my glock. The holster I use isn't really a level 1 retention and I have daymares about any random kid grabbing it.
I would carry my beretta all the time since it has that snappy firing pin safety that is easy to flick off. Berettas are quite big and not ideal for conceal carry.
I should just get a level 2 or 3 retention holster but I don't know how quickly you can draw from one.

My holster is also a low retention level (sticky holster) which is another reason I don't carry with one in the chamber. I constantly have to go into places I can't carry and I'm constantly moving my gun from backpack, to truck, to fanny pack to running rig, etc. It's just safer for me personally to keep one out of the chamber and I too have young people around me that I don't want to accidently bump or grab at my gun so it's just more peace of mind for me and yes I know that I potentially am in a shitty place if I don't have time rack and fire. For me it's an acceptable trade off. If I was in a situation that I had a higher retention holster and open carried all day I'd absolutely carry with one in the chamber.
I don't worry about bumping or dropping with a glock. Their design prevents them from misfiring due to dropping.
Holsters are tough. I hate IWB holsters.
I can't conceal an OWB with a normal fitting t-shirt and summer prevents wearing flannels and coats. The best solution I've come up with is either open carry or start wearing a suit.

Condition 4 isn't just for a range. You'd be shocked how poorly weapons are handled during guided, canned upland game bird hunts, which is what these women are likely doing. Condition 4 keeps the guide and his dog from getting their heads blown off when Susie trips over a rock.
Look what happened to this pajeet who was not ready with his boonstick.

Why would you carry an over-under birding shotgun Condition 1 unless you're actively hunting? I'm going to guess they're pheasant hunting in Austria or Germany. You'll carry 'condition 1' while actively hunting because you need to tag a pheasant on the wing when you beat them out of a bush, but looks like they're walking on a prepared surface of some kind, so probably walking to/from their cars at the end/start of the hunt.
If it's in Europe (which it almost certainly is based on the hats alone), it's not like they need to have their rifle ready in case of a mountain lion or bear attack. They don't have fuck-all dangerous over there.

Depends on when/where I am and what I'm carrying. My EDC is a Springfield Hellcat that I keep loaded with the safety on. In the winter months, I wear a shoulder harness with a Glock 17 loaded. In my truck, I keep a Kimber 1911 loaded with the hammer half cocked (it has a thumb safety, but I don't often use it). In my truck safe, I keep a folding 9mm PCC that's ready to go once it's unfolded. At home, I keep a KS7 loaded with 00 buckshot without one in the chamber cause it's a pump action. I also have a PCC at my bedside that I keep loaded with the safety on.
If you have guns, train with them, play with them (aka dry fire), learn their differences then having or not having a safety won't matter.
