My carry options include a DA revolver, a DA/SA Semi and a DAO Semi. I carry all fully loaded. Only the DA/SA has a manual safety. I engage it only when stowing the pistol in my car safe. I have no rational reason for using the safety in that case, except for 30-year old training related to securing my weapon in the locker at the jail sallyport.
However, as a teenager I carried a SA revolver with the hammer down on an empty chamber and once had to finish off a porcupine with a rock after he took 5 rounds of .22 Special. Just pretend porky was a bear and I've covered all the bases.
