The prosecutor is trying to paint you into a corner. So, why play with the idea of a modified gun in a defense trial?

I agree.
Has it happened? Who knows and how would you know? I love it when people say show me a case where this has been a factor. These people must think juries write decisions like judges explaining they "logic". Or that recorders are in jury rooms. Fact is we really don't know why juries render a particular verdict.
When in doubt play it safe is my approach.
Now when you think you may need an extra mag or gun, but that could be used against you, I say carry it. Then I accept the logic of survive first, worry later. But when you can buy used guns or new guns without the lock for carry, why carry a gun with a lock that may lock at wrong time or disable lock and give them something to use against you.
