im aware of the responses ive read them all. thanks for the help
am i allowed to open carry my glock 36 with a round in the chamber? .
You wouldn't want an ambulance to have no gas in the tank when a call comes in, would you?
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.

Keep that sucker loaded whenever you OC, which should be often!
The only places I know of where OC has to be done with an empty chamber are Israel and California. Hmmmm. The Cali part I can understand (they probably HAVE a law against gas in ambulances; can't be too careful, you know) but the Israel part I don't.
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'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.
"Get off the X!"

Why in the WORLD would you not carry it with a round chambered?...
