Your question should apply to open carry as it's all the same. You carry to be armed.

Unless you're former ISD (Israeli Defense Forces) and have practiced drawing and chambering a few thousand times, why would you carry a firearm different than the manner in which it was DESIGNED to be carried?

This isn't 1905, we have modern firearms that are not to be carried in any other manner.

Ever heard of a cop without on in the pipe? There's not anyone on the battlefield with an empty chamber.

My revolvers already have on in the pipe as do all double action revolvers.
My 1911s are carried cocked-and-locked.
My HK.45CT is designed to be carried cocked-and-locked or one in the pipe for double/single action fire.
My Sigs are double/single action with one in the pipe.
I carry my 10" shotgun with one in the pipe.
I carry my HK MP5 with one in the pipe.

They are engineered to save your life. They are not made to fiddle with in dire situations.
