Remember when Gabby Giffords was shot. A man with a concealed gun permit had heard the shots, drew his gun & headed toward the scene. He peaked around the corner, saw a man with a gun & took aim. At the last moment, he realized that it was not the shooter but a bystander picking up the shooter's gun.
The idea that you think you are trained enough is ridiculous. Sure there might be a situation where it is clear but how do you know you're not shooter another toter coming to help?
I know some toters & open carry people. When I am near, I wonder if their safeties are on, if they are properly holstered, what training did they have. And if they are truly concerned for their protection or toting because they think it makes them a tough guy.
I'll take my chances that I might be in range of a mass shooter instead of at risk from dumbass toters who are careless.
Hey dumbass! Many guns do not HAVE safeties.
Keep embarrassing yourself! It is hilarious!
BTW, learn to spell "peeked" correctly.
So you think it is OK for people to carry loaded guns without safeties? I wonder how that would work out.
How many revolvers do you think have safeties?
"A safety is a mechanical component of a firearm. Just because it’s called a “safety” doesn’t mean it’s the only way to prevent an accidental discharge."
Now what?
Now, answer the question.
"So you think it is OK for people to carry loaded guns without safeties"
"How many revolvers do you think have safeties?"
Another type of firearm that almost never has a safety is an old fashion double barrel shotgun. You know, the type Joe Biden said was okay to own...and to shoot into the air to scare bad guys away, despite that being illegal in many jurisdictions.
Their ignorance to that which they wish to control is astonishing.
