Are you saying that one should not carry a semi auto with a round in the chamber to avoid an AD? If so, then I have to disagree with you. I have always been taught that if you do not want a gun to fire, then you simply do not pull the trigger.

Agreed! I've been carrying my 38 here lately, but when I do carry my 9mm, it's 16 in the clip and one in the chamber. My S&W doesn't even have a safety, and that's what I really like about it. The only safety istaking it out of the holster and pulling the trigger!
