[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4146922, member: 45773"] You're trying to "human proof" a gun. You can't do it. I've already shown you where thumb safeties have failed despite your assertion it would make the gun more safe. Safety #1: Treat all guns as if they were always loaded if that fails, Safety #2: Don't point the gun at anything you're not willing to destroy if that fails, Safety #3: Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until your sights are on target and you're ready to fire if that fails Safety #4: Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it If you follow those simple steps, even if all 4 fail, no one should get hurt and nothing should be damaged. If you can't follow those simple steps what on earth makes you think that having one more lever on your gun is going to make you safe? It's not. You're trying to idiot proof a gun and just like anything else that's "idiot proof", the idiots will outsmart it. I'm having a difficult time understanding how one person can be so obtuse. If you can't follow the safety rules you shouldn't be handling any gun, safety or not. And if you can, you don't need extra safeties. It's a horrible and dangerous idea to believe the gun will make you safe rather than the other way around. I tell you what... You go buy a Glock. Bring it to me and I'll remove the firing pin. You'll never have to worry about the gun firing when you don't intend to fire it. As a matter of fact, bring me all your guns and I'll make them all safe. [/QUOTE]
