What a moron.

My wife’s new Ruger LC9 has a magazine safety built in. If the magazine is removed it won’t fire even with a round in the chamber. It’s idiots like this guy that forced them to design this feature.

A magazine safety is probably a good idea, but you’d never want to count on it.

Brilliant feature. I hope it catches on.

Almost 20 years ago I had an accidental discharge with a S & W 40 that had a lever safety and a magazine safety. The magazine was removed and the lever safety were on as I tried to remove a soft nosed round hung up on the edge of the chamber. It missed my thigh and blew out a glass panel on my sliding glass doors. I sheepishly took it back to the gun shop and suffered the humiliation of relating my story in front of the owner and 4-5 hangers-on. When the laughter died each and every veteran gun owner related a story of their own accidental discharge in a somber tone.

BTW Smith and Wesson contacted me and bought the two year old gun back for exactly what I paid for it.
