If you get into a fight, & the guy your fighting grabs your gun, & you don't have a safety You're going to get shot with your own gun If you have a safety, you can fight while the guy is trying to pull the trigger & trying to figure out why the gun ain't shooting COCKED-N-LOCKED, I wouldn't have any other way

 

To try to see you side I went and got out all teh handguns we own, the walther, I can see no comfortable way to hold teh gun were I could get the saftey off, keep a good grip for a good shot, and do it all quick. My taurus better but still not good... The Glock... well... Easy to do

 

sorry, that argument holds no water with me, so you get two more seconds to think about how much getting shot is gonna suck... Placing your life on teh hopes that the BG cant work your gun is a long shot, while I'm sure it CAN happen I would not count on it happing enough to base an agument on it.

 

I keep saying "T H U M B SAFETY on the FRAME of the GUN" If your gun has a safety on the S L I D E that is a different matter

 

the taurus is on the frame, its better then the walther but still not my cup of tea, my taurus has been on my side all day, with no saftey we are all still alive and no one is bleeding.

 

oh yeah... the Glock has been in the bedside drawer for months... no one hurt either...

 

I hope you never have an AD {ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE} It's happen to alot of people

 

Never ever head of a AD that was caused by a gun and not someone disobeying one of the basic rules of gun saftey. If your dumb enough to carry a gun without a saftey or with teh saftey off in a way that is unsafe and can allow for a trigger pull (like say in a waist band such as Plaxico Burress) then you deserve what you get... If you keep your gun in a proper holster and use common sence (which I think we both agree is part of having any gun) then you will never have a AD due to not having a external safety or not using it.

 

Every time I touch a gun, I check to see if the gun is loaded, before I handle or let anybody handle the gun. I saw a guy shoot another guy when the owner of the gun handed the gun to the other guy.

 

As do I and as should EVERYONE, whats that got to do with the saftey?

And that goes to my point, AD due to TWO people (guy that was handed the gun should have checked also) not obeying a basic gun saftey rule.
