Would definitely love more of the story. He had to be messing with it, as others have already said.

Almost everyone I know with a concealed carry permit has a round chambered anytime the weapon is on their person.

Do you carry? I'm guessing not. I don't think I know anyone who carries that doesn't have a round chambered.

He must have had a really badly designed holster. My Fobus lever holster has absolutely 0 access to the trigger on both sides. He had to be fucking around, or be packing like Plaxico.

Yes, I have a permit and I carry concealed. I carry a revolver with the hammer on an empty chamber, because I don't want an accidental discharge.

Hopefully they also know enough to have the safety on.

little bit different there. the revolver if double action can be carried unchambered. when you pull the trigger it goes bang as the cylinder then rotates to a live round.

with a semi auto, if you don't have a round chambered you would have to rack the slide in order to use the gun. if you had time, you would still need the forsight to do that.
I don't know anyone who carries an auto unchambered. if it's a 1911 they have the safety engaged if it's a glock style or springfield, well they have internal safetys. it would be hard to get a gun to go off like that without messing with it. back strap, trigger and other safetys make it very difficult to fire unless you're holding it and pulling the trigger.

Because the time it would take you to chamber a round might cost you your life.
