I also carry a revolver. It's a 5 shot, so I'm already down one round. I'm not going to make it a 4 shot by keeping an empty spot. Also, my holster has a strap over the hammer. So, not only would something have to catch on the trigger hard enough to activate the double action, it's also going to have to be hard enough to overcome the strap. Good luck with that. I hope I never have to use the gun. I also hope I never have to "use" my motorcycle helmet, but I wear one anyway, even on the "short" trips. And to those saying that nobody should carry in a "safe" location, I ask how you determine a "safe" location. Can you see the future to know that with 100% certainty nobody is going to come in and rob the place?
I absolutely hate that both of my jobs have rules against carrying. Not only that, but both jobs also have rules against having ANY weapon in my vehicle while on duty, including pepper spray. That's right, I can't have ANYTHING that can be conceived as a weapon on my person, or in my vehicle. Yet, in both jobs, I run the risk of being attacked, whether it's someone wanting to rob me, or someone pissed off at me. It's absolutely assanine that I can't carry in either position.
