I would like to know if these negligent/accident gun discharges happened with a gun with no safety. It should be part of the report of any of these cases.

But you don't agree with the stated rationale. <br /><br />I wonder how many of the negligent discharges we read about are done with Glocks or other non-safe guns. I wonder how many kids have gotten a-hold of a gun that had a manual safety engaged and nothing bad happened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-28900320813087235702014-06-11T21:10:15.034+02:002014-06-11T21:10:15.034+02:00Mike, California even includes Glocks on their ros...Mike, California even includes Glocks on their roster of pistols allowed to be sold in the state. The roster is billed as those firearms that have passed the required safety tests. Revolvers are still manufactured and sold at a brisk pace even today, and they are also included on the California safety roster.<br /> I do own a revolver, though I carry a pistol. One with a manual safety. I personally don't feel the safety slows down its use because it gets set to fire as it clears the holster. And the finger goes into the trigger guard as the sights come on to the target.<br /> But everyone has their own technique.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-12134238900247327992014-06-11T19:42:50.900+02:002014-06-11T19:42:50.900+02:00That's right.

The fact that revolvers have been around a long time without safeties does not mean they shouldn't be a part of the more popular semi-automatics.<br /><br />Do you own guns without safeties, ss? Do you accept the rationale that the time it takes to switch the safety off can make the difference in a life-threatening situation?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-24467949662685633392014-06-11T19:22:04.245+02:002014-06-11T19:22:04.245+02:00"You sound like the child who says they are a..."You sound like the child who says they are all doing it (some unsafe idiotic thing) so it's ok for me and others to do it.
