Try this line on a MC gunny sargeant and you will wake up head spinning, an ache on the left side of your head, and some blood streaming down where you "fell down" and hit your head on the butt of your piece. A gun is very dangerous - which is the point of the exercise. Drop your knife and you might get a stab wound in your foot. Drop your .45 and you can blow your own head off - and it happens "all the time."
Most who support the 2nd ammendment also expect those who possess firearms to do so responsibly.
“Folks who think guns are responsible for deaths also think pencils are responsible for spelling errors...” Larry, the Cable Guy...
You obviously missed my point. “laying in a drawer or leaning in the closet is no more dangerous than a knife on the kitchen counter”
Hard to drop a .45 if it is in a drawer! I said nothing about picking up the knife or gun. Guns don’t shoot people or accidentally discharge themselves anymore than knives jump up and chop peoples fingers off.
As far as “it happens all the time” comment...I don’t own a 1911 but my understanding was the 1911 was designed by John Browning to be carried loaded, cocked and locked. Not saying an AD can’t occur, I just understood that if you carried the way the gun was designed, you were essentially carrying safely. Such as some guns must not have a round in the chamber to be carried safely, while others are designed to be able to be carried with a round in the chamber.
You sound clueless....obviously have never heard of a sear disconnect on 1911’s. Even if the hammer is hit the gun will not go off.
