Result would have been the same whether he was chambered or not.

This time. He got lucky.

I would worry about the rare chance of a mis-feed...especially under pressure

How many of you are practicing your draw while seated in your car? Or while exiting your car? This incident seems like as good a motivation as any to train drawing from unconventional positions more often.

The great thing about having a garage. I don't have to frighten the neighbors.

My range allows you to drive your vehicle onto the pistol bays, so I may have to start taking advantage of that and do some drawing-while-egressing drills.

If it looks sketchy, whip it out. Why wait?

*****That's Racist!!!!!

Ok, now that that is outta the way.. You end up parking in some lot, looking for a spot to eat a foot-long you just bought and you find yourself parked next to either or *all* of these vans... Seems pretty sketchy to me!!! I personally would put my foot-long away and either drive off, or at least be ready to defend myself from whatever may come. Then again, $20 is $20..

The Carjacker holster by Andrews Leather looks like a pretty nice setup for in the car.

I've got the shield arms s15s in my g43xmos, with the shield mag release. I've put about 400 shots through it with those mags and they've fun flawlessly. They're a complete no-brainer if you've got a 43x. As other said though, capacity means nothing if your gun has not been put in a condition to be used when you need to use it. With a good holster, a loaded chamber isn't going to be a safety risk. I tried the mission 1st minimalist, werkz m6, desantis slim tuk, and the bravo concealment torsion. The torsion is the clear winner for me in both comfort and concealability.

I'd encourage your friend to bring his story to a gun friendly news outlet. It's important that uses of legally carried firearms for defense be shared in the public sphere. He used a legally carried firearm to stop a threat, and had the restraint to NOT fire when being fired upon. That is the narrative the 2a community needs to highlight in maryland.

@smokey0118 are there nearby out-of-state retail locations for the S15s or did you manage another way of getting your hands on them? I'm looking for options of getting the S15 Combo Pack.

This is what I've been trying to preach since Bruen. While some here are treating it like Christmas, I'm trying to be serious and stress training and practice. I've been called an elitist by some because of this, but hopefully people are starting to realize the gun isn't a rabbit's foot and instead take this stuff just a little more seriously.

This. Right. Here.

Every gun show in PA or VA seems to have them around several vendors, I got mine at a Gettysburg one last year.
