As this is my first post here, allow me to introduce myself and give a short background.
I am a Navy vet, I did my four years as a Master at Arms which translates into Military Police. I carried a M9 pretty much every day for those four years and am well versed in the use of firearms, particularly pistols.
When I carried I always carried my weapon (as per DON policy) in condition one, that is one in thechamberwith a fully loadedmagazine. In order to shoot all I'd have to do is draw, flick the safety off and squeze the trigger.
Despite my LE background it is basically impossible for me to get a CCW here in San Diego (I'm not even going to waste my time and moneytrying) so I've turned to Unloaded Open Carry.
Taking an unloade firearm to ready to fire takes time, time you may not have in a self defense situation.
I intend to practice, practice, practice as a weapon in any state is better than no weapon at all, but what are your thoughts on (what I see as)this major flaw in the practicality of UOC?
