Yeah, but:

When you chamber a round at the range do you then put the pistol aside, or stand around and shoot
the ****, such that you need to put the thumb safety on? That would violate your first rule - not
ready to fire 'til you're ready to fire. If you've chambered a round, it should be because you're
ready to fire - no need to put the safety on, other than to immediately take it off again while
aiming.

Yawn. Herring's got a new burr up his ass.

You stressed the importance of a safety over and over. You say the only time you use it is on the
range during the interval between chambering a round and shooting the round.

Unless you're not ready to shoot, why did you chamber the round?

If you are ready to shoot, why not shoot?

Your long winded explanations of 'conditions' didn't answer the question.

*Among other reasons*, gotta be ready to shoot *instantly* in case some
crazed rightie with an assault rife wanders onto the range and starts
firing at everyone. If a round is chambered and the safety is on, all I
have to do is flip off the safety and fire. And until I fire and the
safety is on, the weapon is safer than your unsafe "trigger safety."

From what you've said so far about your rationale for safeties, I doubt if you'd be able to find the
thumb safety so you could 'off' it. The P250, with a round in the chamber is capable of being shot
*instantly*.


Weren't you issued an M1911A1 when you were making war against the
Vietnamese? Didn't it have a safety? Weren't you told why? How about its
military replacement, the Beretta M9? Does it have thumb safeties, or is
it equipped with the non-safe "safe trigger," instead?


Don't you mean to say, "...when *we* were making war...", ESAD?

I'm surprised to see that the reason safeties are so important to you is because the military uses
them. You should have just stated that up front, rather than attempt to impress everyone with your
bull**** rationale.
