  At least when carrying it, having it loaded and cocked is normal. The holster keeps the trigger covered, and any not-garbage firearm (read: not Sig P320) is drop safe in case of accidents. And that extra half second to rack the slide can be the difference between getting killed by an attacker or successfully defending yourself in an emergency.

  And if they live alone and/or have a safe built into their nightstand I can kinda see their point, though I personally alway leave mine chamber empty

  I’m not willing to give the psycho I bought it to protect myself from 3 seconds to cave my skull in with a bat

    If you’re so concerned with such a scenario, I’d rather suggest you get something to detect intruders earlier so that 3 seconds don’t matter.

    Also as others have pointed out, you’re replacing one risk with another way more likely one. But you do you.

      I’m concerned with such a scenario because the guy lives 2 doors down from me. He’s threatened me before and I have video of him staring at my bedroom window in the middle of the night, pointing at it, and swinging a bat.

      A well built and maintained gun isn’t going to fire unless you pull the trigger. I live alone, my holster covers the trigger and I practice trigger discipline. When I’m handling the gun. I’ll be fine.

        And as such you should put alarms on your doors and windows to have extra time.
