[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2231177, member: 12170"] The assumption that a manual safety would somehow prevent a negligent discharge also assumes that a person with a manual safety on the firearm would actually be using it the first place. As a side note, I have to agree with S4F on LEO firearms training. During a particular steel challenge, I watched an ATF agent load no less than 3 magazines, both loaded well beyond division capacity, into her Glock on Outer Limits. The second incident during this steel challenge, was another ATF agent managed to load a .40 SW into his new 1911 and fire the gun. For the life of me, I don't know how he wasn't DQ'd. Most of the LEO's I have had the pleasure to compete with are stand up and well trained individuals, but certainly not all of them. [/QUOTE]
