Reply to comment by dubbleplusgood in Man Accidentally Shoots Self with Concealed Weapon While Seeking Cover From Loud Noise by davy_jones_locket

Guns are carried “locked and loaded” all the time. It’s the preferred way to carry a firearm on the body of somebody who knows what they’re doing. Now carrying it loaded and not knowing what to do with it to the degree that the carrier shoots themself is careless and stupid.

Or, hear me out, you could just not live in fear and not carry a gun.

Locked and loaded, referring to one in the chamber, ready to fire. Cleary he wasn't ready to fire but his firearm was.

Yeah I’m well aware. That is how guns are carried. They may have the safety on or off depending on user choice and mechanical function of the firearm. They may have no safety at all. They usually have one in the tube ready to go so the user does not need to rack the slide to put the gun into battery, because if you need a gun you need it right away.
