I prefer an active safety on a carry gun. I'm old and remember when all new guns had an active safety.

I've never heard a good argument for not having one. "Keeping your finger off the bang switch" is not a reason not to have a safety, that is just good firearm handling.

One more point to consider...every person who has ever had a negligent discharge, right up until that second, could honestly say they never had a negligent discharge.

We should be at least as concerned with gun handling other than a self defense situation as we are with self defense. Almost all of us will never have a self defense situation (thank goodness) and the few that do will still spend almost 100% of their gun handling other than that self defense situation.
