People should get what they want, and it's nice that the M&P gives you the option. Other companies should follow suit. What irks me about the whole safety debate is the "my safety is between my ears" crowd. It's the absolute height of arrogance to feel supremely confident that you will NEVER have a brain fart and screw up, when professional soldiers, cops, and shooters have had one. The fact is that many of these "my safety is between my ears" crowd are young or otherwise inexperienced shooters who are simply repeating what they have heard others say. Take a visiit to a local shooting range and tell me you don;t see unsafe gun handlers. if you wanna shoot yourself in the leg, have fun. But when your rounds are coming in my direction, I have a problem. And the fact is that the MAJORITY of shooters take a quick class, buy a gun, shoot a box or two, and call it done. If you're going to excercise your right to carry a weapon, you owe it to yourself and the rest of us to diligently train in it's use, and if practicing to take a safety off is too much trouble (especially when it costs you nothing and can be done in your bedroom), then maybe you should just get some pepper spray. I can wash cayenne pepper out of my eyes.
