[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 2230826, member: 3455"] I believe it has to do with mentality stages. "Safety on a handgun" stage is between anti-gun (guns are bad) and proficiency (guns are a tool). In this stage you treat all guns like hunting guns - must be kept on safe till pointed at something that you want to kill. We must be very gentle with people in that stage. With proficiency comes realization what guns should have manual safety and what guns shouldn't - being a know-it-all from a high-horse will not prove anything. I know lots of people that [I]should[/I] have manual safety and 10lb trigger pull on their handguns. P.S. "Booger hook on the bang button" sounds good - but there are lots of other negligent instances when firearm goes off without [B]finger[/B] in the trigger guard - you get careless and accident will happen sooner or later.
