re: #156 Holidays are Family Fun Time

I don’t understand. It is an inanimate object. Properly stored and cared for, it isn’t a danger.

In order to defend yourself when an attack actually occurs, you will need to have have your weapon drawn, a round chambered and the safety off. You need to do this in advance of determining that you will actually fire.

Every time you do that, there is a chance your assessment is incorrect. There is a chance you will choose to discharge your weapon when you shouldn’t have. That is the danger I am speaking of.

Most individuals will never choose to discharge incorrectly. But with enough gun owners and enough events, you will have them.
