re: Semi Auto pistol: Safety or No Safety

I don't have problems with safety's being on guns. I have problems with people who think they are the thing that will save them from an accidental discharge.

That's why I say it's a crutch.

I'll say this, just based on this thread, I would never want to be around you with a gun. I'd shoot with everyone you're arguing with though, safety or not. Because they have a fundamental understanding that a gun is an inanimate object. You control it. It doesn't fire till somebody makes it do so. So I suspect they are as religious as I am about treating every gun as if it were loaded. That's the only real 'safety' and to claim it's not is irresponsible and ignorant.
