#1 If it’s on the shelf, the magazine is out and the chamber is empty. If it’s on me, both are full.

“The empty chamber method is called Israeli carry.”
Fewer accidental discharges, more stabbing of armed soldiers.

In the Facebook discussion thread Imunim said that the Israeli army requires its soldiers to draw and fire a semiautomatic pistol within 1.2 seconds of start in order to qualify. That means an armed attacker with an edged weapon, for example, would have to be no closer than about six feet for the shooter to draw and fire before the attacker can come into range of his weapon.
