I guess if you are Joe Q. Crime Fighter who faces danger at every turn and are constantly involved in gun battles then yeah I guess a safety would be a major inconvenience.But for the general gun carrying public I really don't understand why so many are against it.If you're totally cognizant of everything 100% of the time with no distractions and never been known to have a lapse of memory and you are totally in control of every waking second of every single day,well you know.Anyhow all I can say is that if I hear "The gun went off"one more time on the news I think I'm gonna throw up.Wonder if those guns had safeties.
