You Won't Change My Mind - TheFirearmGuy
This video strongly advocates for carrying a firearm with a round in the chamber (Condition Zero for striker-fired, Condition One for hammer-fired with safety engaged). The instructor emphasizes that in a real-world self-defense encounter, time is critical, and the criminal dictates the attack. Adding the step of chambering a round after drawing creates a significant disadvantage. The speaker draws on personal experience and intense training, including a ballistic mirror simulation, to illustrate the speed at which encounters unfold and the necessity of having every possible advantage.
