Re: In chamber or no?

Another good example where carrying without one in the pipe may not have gone too well in the CHLers favor:

So that makes it feel a bit safer but I used to carry a Glock 31 with no hammer or no safety devise really at all & that made me nervous especially with the deadly reliability of a Glock. If a Glock has a round in it will fire accidental or not.
Glocks have three safeties on them, an integrated trigger safety, a firing pin safety and a drop safety. Only one of them is external and none of them will keep you from actually pulling the trigger.

Not to be flip but I would hope a Glock with a round in the chamber would fire when I pull the trigger, that's the point. It's up to me to not put my finger on the trigger unless it is time to pull it. A Glock isn't just going to "go off" without pulling the trigger. Neither are the vast majority of modern firearms.
