I've carried Glock since they first came out. Lemmy tell you something, keeping a round in the chamber is what you do in COMBAT, okay? Because you KNOW you're going into a deadly situation.
No. You don't need a round in the chamber all the time, in everyday life. That's a BIG mistake waiting to happen.
You need to be OBSERVANT of your surroundings, be AWARE of individuals and suspicious activity, use COMMON SENSE and GOOD JUDGMENT, and you'll be prepared for anything. You'll have plenty of time to draw your weapon to presentation and rack the slide, if you're OBSERVANT.
If you walk around with a nice, fat 45 chambered in your Glock, you're gonna shoot yourself in the butt, or the thigh, or the foot.
It happens all the time, and there have been fatalities — guys carrying Glocks inadvertently discharging that chambered round.

personal protection
People must not be fully dependent upon leo's for protection. I have a spare tire on my truck just in case. A first aid kit just in case. Life insurance just in case. Never want to use any of them but they are there, I carry just in case. I have my wife and kids to look out for so like any good scout my motto is still "Be prepared".

Protection without having everyone gawking at me for open carry.
It is only illegal to open carry in Mississippi without a License to Carry a Concealed Pistol or Revolver because the courts in Mississippi have ruled that a handgun carried in a holster is partially concealed by the holster itself. As long as you have a License to Carry it is perfectly legal to open carry in Mississippi.
I'll bet it was your CCW instructor who told you it was illegal to open carry? Next time, ask them to show you the statute that prohibits it and listen for the crickets to start chirping. There is no statute in MS that prohibits open carry.

I do have my CCW in Mississippi and I can't find anywhere it says you can't OC but I also can't find anywhere it says you can. I don't see anyone OC in my area. I know that the law says that anyone can carry in their vehicle without a CCW which is good. I know if you are a courier you can OC because I see that alot. I will have to check with my LE and find out if it is leagle or not.
I've said it many times before, and it still stands, the three biggest sources of misinformation regarding firearms laws continue to prove themselves to be LEOs, CCW Instructors, and gun shop employees.
It is never a good idea to ask law enforcement what is legal or not. They will give you their opinion, which may or may not agree with what the statute actually says. If you want to find out how reliable a source is, don't ask them what the law says. Instead ask them where is the statute that says it.
So, in other words, LEOs are under no obligation to protect a person from another person even if there was a direct threat from that individual. Or they are not responsible for their actions or inactions in most cases. Am I reading this right? That is outrageous my friend! What are these people being paid for. And what about most police forces saying "To Protect and Serve"? Unreal!
I changed your "or" to "and", yes you are reading that correctly. I guess I kind of clouded your previous opinion of what LEO are all about?
The main job of LEO are to provide suspected criminals with enough evidence against them to obtain a conviction to prosecuting attorneys. It's all about obtaining convictions; not due to providing public safety, however....it is due to providing job security to the prosecutors and to the politicians those prosecutors work for.
The MAJORITY of LEO's, I feel, absolutely do feel a PERSONAL duty to serve and protect. Unfortunately, that is not their job description prescribed to them by their politically motivated bosses in most cases.
