Who knows the law on if u can have a round in the chamber while you are carrying?

First, read this:
http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar47/ch2.html
Then read all of article 47.
If you're going to carry a handgun in Indiana, it's best to know the law. These will get you started.
Also, what grapeshot said. It's not prohibited.
You scared me with the link and the article 47 reference - thought I had replied erroniously and was being corrected. :lol:
Not that I mind being corrected. Its always best to have to the right info, but I do try to avoid bruising along the way.
Thanks I was told that you can't but they really didn't know any laws
Gun store counter guy or your friendly local cop?
stay safe.

Why would anyone not carry one in the chamber.
In a major respect, it's safer. Can't really have an unintentional discharge by one trigger pull if there isn't one in the pipe.
The additional safety is offset by additional risk like, not being able rack the slide at a moment of truth.
Figure out your probability of having a UD and compare it to your probability of being unable to rack a slide at a jewelry store-like situation . . . and you can decide which method is actually best.
