Carrying a handgun that is not in battery is not only dangerous to your longevity, but might be construed as foolish. The time lost drawing a semi-automatic sidearm and racking the slide to chamber a round could get you seriously injured or killed. Not to mention the situation where your weak hand/arm is suddenly out of commission. These weapons were made with the intent to carry them in full battery, ready for deadly use on a moment's notice. To do less is to court disaster.
