I just read through twenty pages of an old thread where this question was raised at least twice but people were too busy arguing about the wisdom of clearing one's own home to answer it. I am sure this has been discussed ad nauseum somewhere but I can't find it.
It seems the majority of those who have an AR for home defense keep it chamber empty. Aside from living with children why is condition 1 (loaded chamber, safety on) not more common?
