That is 50/50, some people agree but some people disagree.
Safety is a good reason, but also as the evidence in the video shows, racking the bullet will make a big difference in the perception of the enemy. Brandishing, as we can see here, is a good way to deter a threat.
I personally would carry with a round in the chamber, but I understand why some would not.
I have kids for one and I am forgetful sometimes and clumsy sometimes too. My wife calls me the bandaid man because every time I do any kind of project I end up slicing a part of my body or getting burnt on something.

She didn't understand "Get out of my way."
She didn't understand "Leave me alone."
She didn't understand "Stop blocking my car from leaving."
But she understood loud and clear the sound of a bullet being chambered into that handgun.
Some people don't understand anything other than physical threats. You can't reason with a violent instigator.

You should already have a round in the pipe tho.

I don't have my ccp but if I did I would probably not have a round chambered for safety reasons, but I can totally see the argument for doing so.
