Your argument was that leaving a gun with no round in the chamber when you are not using it cuts down on negligent discharges, and you used military protocol as an example several times. The fact that they are forced to constantly load and unload there guns resulted in a negligent discharge. If that gun just stayed holstered with a round in the chamber at all times until they actually need to pull it out and use it then I cant see how a negligent discharge would happen in the first place.
