Am I allowed to open carry my Glock 36 with a round in the chamber?

Short answer= Yes.
No, if your name is Lee Paige or if you have similar firearm handling skills.

Bad analogy.
If sh*t hits the fan, you have rounds in the magazine, which is the same as gas in the tank. However, that ambulance is in PARK until the call comes in and then it goes into DRIVE. Going from PARK to DRIVE would be the same as chambering a round in my opinion.

Lets put that ambulance in the garage = holster
Full tank of gas = full magazine
But now you've got to prime the carburetor = chamber a round
before either will work. :uhoh:
Better I think to have them both primed and ready to go - just need to hit the "ignition" switch:exclaim:

I believe UTAH as well if you do "not" have a permit has to be two actions away from firing ie. NO round in the chamber

It's perfectly legal in Virginia to carry with a round chambered. Here's a good example of what might happen if you don't:

Check out this article for distance/vs. reaction times, view the above video, and then make your own decision:

Me? I carry a Glock 22 with a round chambered at all times.

I saw the video the other day while working my way through YouTube. Found it quite interesting. The article in the second link, however, is some very good reading. Thank you for posting it.

I'm sure most of you have heard the "21-Foot" Rule.
Basically, if you're less than 21' from a Martial Artist or someone with an edged weapon
(that knows what they're doing), you can't draw your pistol fast enough to do yourself any good...
I believe the video was called "Surviving Edged Weapons" if I'm not mistaken...

You need to update your video library
That video is over two decades old, while a good start it falls short.
In training it has been proven even a non trained person with a contact weapon can close the 21ft gap before the avg gun handler could draw and fire effective hits.

That was the point I meant to make. I have been "out of the game" for quite some time. I should have clarified that if you don't already have your weapon drawn inside of 21', you're outta time (and luck) and need to consider either making more room (getting off the "X") or dealing with your attacker with other defensive methods (soft-hand, empty hand, hard hand techniques). By the time we're done here, ProShooter won't have anything left to teach in the classroom!
