Generally speaking, I have a chambered round in my gun.
At work - Live round
Out shopping with the wife and kids - live round.
But when I get home, I don't love keeping my gun attached to my hip as I walk around the house. I'll admit, sometimes I forget its even there so it hangs out with me for the day but more often than not I put it in its designated home once we walk in and get settled.
Prior to doing so, drop the mag and eject the live round. Put mag back into the gun, gun back into the holster, set her in her home with the round right next to it.
Why do I eject the round?
Well, I don't really know. I have kids and aside from them knowing I'll bring the closest measure of god's wrath to them that I can, I do keep it out of reach of them and as far as I know, a location they aren't aware of.
I also have a small keyed safe downstairs and if I put it in there I still eject the live round.
I leave the round out of the chamber until I'm headed out the door again (this includes at night).
All the firearms in my safe are stored without a round in the chamber. The mag is loaded, but there are zero live rounds in any gun while we are there.
So, when do you unchamber your weapon or is yours always 100% ready to fire?
How many times can you chamber/eject a shell before you effect the integrity of the casing?
Everyone likes pictures so I shall include pictures.
Now I know what you're thinking and I agree... those are some nice BB guns.
