The truth from Ruger: http://www.ruger-firearms.com/LCPRecall/index.html
We want to remind gun users that, for maximum safety when carrying any pistol with a loaded magazine in place, the chamber should be empty, and the slide should be closed. Any gun may fire if dropped or struck.
You know, it's always struck me funny that everybody hunts with a round chambered (safety on) but it's a big question when carrying a handgun for defense.
No, that is wrong, similar to a knife. It has to be opened to be used.
I am retired LEO, seen lots of accidentals. ...
I have many shooters around and none of them have a chamber full... None. No reason for it.
There was an accidental just awhile ago at a sheriffs home with a Sig, killed his son. One in the chamber
