[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 1330778, member: 4676"] I actually have a Jennings .22 and I wouldn't bet 10 cents on the safety working on that thing. In fact, I've actually made the hammer drop by pulling the trigger with the safety on. Still doesn't change the fact that I'm not going to hold the cheapest or the most expensive piece of equipment responsible for my own safety when I can follow a few cardinal rules to ensure it. Just saying. Your car has a park setting and and a parking brake, but would you set your baby right behind the rear wheel with your car parked on an incline? Nope. You put your baby a few feet away, and it doesn't matter if the car moves forwards or backwards, there's no problem. You point the darn gun in a safe direction while unloading it, and even if it goes off, there's no problem. Easy as that. The bottom line is that people get complacent and forget. They figure since it's always behaved the way they expected, why should this time be any different. They forget that no device is perfect and no device lasts forever. [/QUOTE]
