Empty gun is just a piece of pipe.

As stated above, always chamber a round in any Semi Auto.

I pocket carry a PM9 and a P3AT. Always chambered, always in a pocket holster (which protects the trigger guard from intrusion).

Be careful to keep your finger off the trigger (as you always should) unless firing. Double that caution when reholstering (caution also that no clothing, ie: shirt, etc. gets caught on the trigger). Probably best to simply remove holster from pocket, insert gun then put the whole package into the pocket.

Are you suicidal? Don't carry with one in the chamber, hell don't even have a magazine in the gun!

That is excatly what the bad guy is hoping for! Sorry, couldn't resist contradicting everyone else.

Of course you should have one in the chamber, just be smart (good holster) about carrying it-no more pocket pool in that pocket!
