[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 302403, member: 324"] Knock on wood - happens to me all the time. I fish alone often, from shore. The funny thing is, I often am fishing, and someone will call my name out of the darkness. People come and go at all hours where I fish, and the regulars sort of know each other - by vehicle if nothing else. One thing I've started to do differently, I unlock and start my vehicle from a ways away. If I have to, I can jump in and leave. The thing I watch out for most, is walking up and starlting a group of guys who are up to no good. I'd rather give them notice that I'm around, rather than surprise them and see something they don't want me to see. So far though, I've had nothing but positive experiences. That could change though, drastically, in just one night. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I carry a G19 myself, and there is no "safety" per se. Sometimes carry a Springfield XD Mod2, and that has a grip safety. Smaller firearm - both in 9MM. I used to carry with no hot round in the chamber, but a pal and I had a conversation. He said "you won't have time to rack the slide, if it's in your holster/pocket/etc, if they're already 10 ft away and decide to come at you.". He's right. So yes, slide racked, round in the chamber.
