For those unfamiliar with "cocked and locked" carry, it can be a bit intimidating....at first. I know it was for me. It just takes some practice & getting used to. I have a friend who carries and he is afraid of carrying a firearm cocked and locked. I asked him "and how many accidental discharges have you heard of with a 1911 carried cocked and locked as opposed to other firearms?" Of course, the answer is 'none'. "Do you carry your deer rifle with the chamber empty, and rack it when you see a buck, or do you carry it with a round in the chamber and the safety on?" Of course, the answer is "round in chamber, safety on". "Then what is the difference between carrying the 1911 with a round chambered and the safety on, and a deer rifle with a round in the chamber and the safety on?"
