Cocked and locked as most have a grip safety nowadays and the thumb one but it will freak folks out. My work holster the rocker strap went between the hammer and the gun.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Just this morning around 7. I had two unwanted males parked 10 yards deep in my driveway. My driveway is 230 yards long with cow pasture on both sides that is fenced. No way to turn around except to back out or go all the way to my house and turn around. I thought about blocking them in and taking a position across my hood. But I realized I had my wifes new suv and my piece was in my truck. So I backed out and then they backed out and I chased them a good bit to reinforce the message. No tags. Man, I live a sheltered life. Before SD went to constitutional carry, I had a concealed permit (sort of had to get it to even carry a pistol around hunting or whatever) for 30+ years but haven't had a pistol in a holster on me for probably 20. Maybe I'm just playing the odds. Drawing down on someone pulling around in your driveway, wow, that's foreign up here. I wonder how many dozens and dozens of farms I've pulled in as a stranger and walked up to the door to ask about hunting or trapping some of their land. I've never had a 12 guage in my face but I'm sure in a lot of cases, something was handy. Maybe its just way more people out East and a tree thing, although when the corn is high, lots of places to hide in this country...

Maybe its just way more people out East and a tree thing, although when the corn is high, lots of places to hide in this country... Hello, from their action. My instinct was correct. They were 10 yards deep down my driveway. Too narrow to turn around anyway. Plus the car was parked. Also not knowing what and if something had or was about to happen with wife at home sleeping at the time. I would not have drawn on them directly but would have taken a defensive and safe position behind my vehicle and yes I would have been ready if they exited or drive backwards at high rate of speed or was attempting to engage . My gut instinct has always served me well. To ignore it could cost me dearly. If for some reason they were there due to mechanical issues. Then just a matter to reholster and canceal and no harm nor foul. South carolina is State that doesn't play well with people up to no good. I have had people with weapons in hand when I drove onto their property or knocked on their door. Once they realize all is well, they put it away.

They were 10 yards deep down my driveway. Too narrow to turn around anyway. I've never liked enclosed places, always thought more spread-out farmsteads were better looking than ones where everything was jumbled tight against each other. I grew up in town but never felt enclosed, maybe because the wide-open country was just a few minutes away or I would go visit my relatives on their farms. Maybe its just a forest vs open plains thing. Enjoy the way you live there Sgt C and I'll enjoy the way I live here! P.S. For all you guys that walk around locked and cocked, you have a 2nd mag on you as well in case your burn through the first one...? I've heard that in many encounters that a lot of rounds can get fired but the number of hits is a lot less. Off to work

Good for extra ammo, plus if a mag malfunctions, I can change out.

CZ P01 DA long trigger ready to go
Had a mexican guy outside one of my barns on one of those old mini bikes. Pulling the rope to start it. Wife saw him there and yelled at him to get away. He said he took a shortcut. ''first time last time '' is what he said. Neighbors know now. I wasn't home so we had a talk about her needing to carry her pistol ALL the time.
Just passin through

Lol Jurassic, if I had the option (I think I should) I would carry with one in the chamber, safety on and I would train regular. These folks are just exercising a right we all ought to have.
Just happy to be here.

Ohio Boy, I have 3 kids 7-10 years old and still keep one chambered. They know the rules and gun safety and won't touch my guns without my permission and being next to them. My dad was how you are he would never keep any gun loaded unless we were hunting. That's why I said my dad would be upset if he was alive and knew I carried one chambered
X2 Delaware. I always carry at least one extra mag.

My kids know better too and I had rifles and shotguns propped in corners and never gave it much thought until my son brought a friend over that was memorized by them and I knew as soon as I turned my back he couldn't be trusted. That kind of changed my outlook. Ohio Boy, I have 3 kids 7-10 years old and still keep one chambered.

Think I'd like to have an AR pistol with 30rd mags for those situations. I would just use the rifle stock if it was an option , but rifles must be unloaded in vehicles so brace it is . my son keeps trying to talk me into a PCC in 9mm it would be nice but when you can build a AR for sub 400 dollars these days it seems really hard to justify a PCC that starts at 500 having shot a few fat coons with 9mm hp all be it from a pistol with a much shorter barrel than the 223 and 300 pistol and 223 soft point and shot a deer with 223 soft point , I will take 223 soft point any day for terminal effectiveness. cost is a bit more for ammo but not a lot.
