I don’t think the rifles even *had* safeties.

I own some older rifles....and shotguns from the 40's to the 60's...they ALL have safeties.

Huh.

Imagine that.

I grew up riding in dad’s truck with a rack full of rifles behind my head.

Best as I can recall, I never got killed.

Just lucky, I reckon.

The only gun *I* personally own with a safety on it is a Beretta 9mm.

So...I just freaked out hubby by going out and ‘checking everything’.

Two rifles and one pistol, no “safety” unless you consider “half cocked” a “safety”.

Everything else has them.

[and everything I shot as a kid didn’t]
