The key here is YOU feel comfortable. You understand the risks, you make a calculated decision based on that and what works for you. That I don't think anyone would disrespect. I sure won't. I know lots of people who carry, both OC and CC, and going with or without one chambered is a matter of personal choice.
But anyone making that personal choice needs to do so informed. Your last sentence says you accept that your choice may come with a cost in time should you need to use your firearm. You recognize that and have made your choice. I totally respect that.
The difference is you are making a personal choice about how you will protect yourself. I would still bet that when you are carrying a firearm, you still TREAT it like it's loaded. Correct me if I am wrong.
