I taken three different tactical/combat handgun courses, all advise against using safeties. Most concealed carriers I know carry with a chambered round and no safety engaged. I usually carry without a chambered round due to all the time I spend around my granddaughter. If I'm away from her for more than a day or two, I chamber a round but do engage the safety.You'd wonder why he didn't have the safety on.Sometimes the dog is not man's best friend,lol.
Sounds pretty dangerous over your way Duke,I can't imagine having to carry a weapon all the time.The only people over here that carry firearms in public that I know of are police,bikies / gangsters.Good idea around the kids,I've heard some horror stories there.As the population grows here I think we too will have to protect ourselves more,for now my pitbull,American bulldog crosses generally keep the peace.When I was young a lot of families had firearms, but it was to go hunting and never thought of or needed for protection in most cases.Very strict over here now as you probably know.I taken three different tactical/combat handgun courses, all advise against using safeties.

Not a question of having to carry a weapon, but gun owership it is a right guaranteed under the US Constitution for those of us who opt to avail ourselves of it. Laws vary somewhat from state to state, but for me to have a concealed carry permit in Ohio I have to undergo a criminal and mental health background check every five years. Permit can be revoked for any number of reasons at the discretion of law enforcement and the courts.Sounds pretty dangerous over your way Duke,I can't imagine having to carry a weapon all the time.The only people over here that carry firearms in public that I know of are police,bikies / gangsters.Good idea around the kids,I've heard some horror stories there.
Do to their popularity it was possibly a Glock, which don't have the standard type mechanical safety.You'd wonder why he didn't have the safety on.Sometimes the dog is not man's best friend,lol.
I always carry with a chambered round and the safety on, plus my main carry is a 1911 so there is also the grip safety. I never tell ppl to carry without the safety on, better to practice regularly to learn how to release it as you draw.... Good to know you stay up to date with training and hopefully range time, I've had a little bit of training myself but still always stay in practice on the range.I taken three different tactical/combat handgun courses, all advise against using safeties.

What percentage of the population would be carrying a legal weapon would you say?Not being critical as I feel everyone here should have the right to,just interested.Not a question of having to carry a weapon, but gun owership it is a right guaranteed under the US Constitution for those of us who opt to avail ourselves of it.

Concealed carry permit holders are model citizens, or they wouldn't get the permit.
