Glocks. For some reason people accidentally hurt themselves with these all the time - including people who should know better:

If people were to follow these NRA safety rules they would eliminate "accidents":

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

That there general conference must have been as dangerous as it was in Briggy Youngs day...

a guy has to carry a gun to protect himself from the “avenging angels” checking temple recommends at the door...

“Iz youz an apostate??”

“No, not me”

“Yes youz is. An apostate is anyone that the profit sez is so. Monson sez youz iz so youz isz. Draw Gentile.”

The bullet went through Glines' left hand and hit the forearm of the driver, identified as Ben Baugh, 23, of American Fork. The bullet also struck the driver's side door just below the window.

Mr. Glines needs to checked for blood born pathogens. That bullet that passed through his hand injected his blood and tissue in to Mr. Baugh’s forearm.

Does anyone sensible trust gun safeties? The only reliable safety is the training of the person holding the firearm. Everything else is just decorative. I may use the safety, but I NEVER trust it, nor do I ever pull the trigger except to make the gun go “BOOM!”
