First off, I've been carrying on and off for roughly 20 years, ALWAYS with a bullet in the chamber. Started out carrying a S&W SA/DA pistol, switched over to a 1911 pattern gun and have been carrying a 1911 for roughly 15 years, always "cocked & locked."
Secondly, keep your finger off the trigger when taking the gun out of the holster and it will not fire. If I have to take my gun out of my holster while going to the bathroom or something like that then I don't put my finger on the trigger. Its NEVER been a problem.

With the PPS or the Glock the only safe way to carry is in a holster. Never open pocket or bag (purse) carry. No, there is no problem with AD/ND if you carry properly and keep your finger off the trigger.
