CN Live | Should You Carry A Gun w/ A Round In The Chamber?

About this video

Colion and guest Jenn Jacques from Bearing Arms discuss the debate around carrying a firearm with a round chambered. Colion shares his personal journey from carrying without one in the chamber to understanding the tactical disadvantages and making the change. They emphasize approaching the conversation with new carriers non-judgmentally, using mental visualization and training scenarios to help people understand real-world defensive situations.

Key takeaways

  • Colion argues that carrying without a round chambered adds critical time and mental steps during high-stress defensive encounters when attackers may be on top of you instantly
  • Colion recommends mental visualization and reality-based training courses to help carriers understand how quickly violent encounters unfold and the variables involved (surprise, adrenaline, injury)
  • Colion and Jenn advocate for approaching new carriers with patience rather than condescension, encouraging them to work through scenarios and think critically about their carry choices
