Very few competent firearms instructors recommend carrying with an empty chamber. Regardless of how much training you put into becoming proficient at racking the slide upon presentation, it will always be slower and it assumes that you will have both hands free to use. Neither of these is a fair assumption to make, especially when you begin watching footage from real citizen involved shootings.
That said, this does tend to be a hot topic and usually doesn't last too long before being closed. A quick search will reveal many past threads on this very topic.
