A modern striker fired pistol that is designed properly (like glock gen 3+) is not going to go off unless you pull the trigger. I don't understand why you wouldn't carry it chambered, if you are going to carry. You shouldn't be pulling it out of the holster unless you are about to shoot someone with it, at which point, why just stand around racking it and hoping it doesn't jam?
I mean honestly, you and I are coming from very different places mentally. There’s just no scenario where I would be walking the streets in the US doing my normal day to day shit with a weapon to begin with.
I understand that’s become a very normalised thing to do there but is something that would get you laughed out of the bar in pretty much the rest of the English speaking world.
Again, I don’t know what to tell you other than I think there is a paranoid culture problem here where everyone is just terrified of everything all the time and nobody seems to know how to step back from the edge and deescalate or again like I keep saying learning how to ACTUALLY judge and manage risk. It’s an actual skillset that will serve you much much better than a weapon ever will.
The same thing goes for just learning how to not panic if you find yourself in a sketchy situation. The ability to remain calm is hands down the most impressive and helpful thing I’ve ever seen from the actually dangerous people I know and have spent time with in some capacity or another.
