Pretty simple, really. While most folks DO want to carry a LOADED firearm, some of them prefer not to carry one LOADED, AND COCKED, WITH THE SAFETY OFF.
If that's what they prefer, they should buy that type of gun.
Since no one is forcing or promoting otherwise, why are you making it a contention?
Is the reason to deflect again? Because none of that addresses or has anything to do with your previous comments of being able to tell IF the gun is cocked by casual observation if you walked up to it.
Being able to see if it's cocked has nothing to do with not having the ability to carry it in the ways you outlined.
It's not about the 4 safety rules that every 3 year old knows.
Are you sure about that?
It's about not setting up newbies to carry, with loaded, cocked weapons
that are nigh un-cockable, with no safety.
Since when did this thread be about newbies? It certainly wasn't when you made your comment. Seems like another attempt at deflection on your part.
Highly trained law enforcement professionals have NDs with these pistols on a regular basis.
Now you're just exaggerating a fairly rare occurrence to try in effort to prove a point you don't have. Regular basis? Get real.
Is this what you really want to hand a noob?
Again, this wasnt a part of the thread nor in any part of your replies until you brought it up just now.
You bringing up newbies and glock leg doesn't remotely have any relateable context to the quote of yours I replied to which is
Walk up to any striker fired pistol, and look at it. Is the striker cocked?
With a hammer-fired pistol, you can tell, at a glance, if the hammer is cocked.
IF the slide has been cycled-HAS it?
After you made that comment, you brought up 'causal observation', which is a disaster waiting to happen, then brought up and exaggerated 'glock leg' which doesn't have anything to do with anything in the thread, and then 'newbies' which is kind of coming out of the left field bleachers but from the direction as if it was thrown from the right.
I'll say again, it's not that's it cocked that has inherent danger; being loaded does.
Go read the currently running thread about a ND. He knew it was cocked. He thought it was unloaded.
Its conerning that you STILL haven't acknowledged that and continue to try to justify (with irrelevant arrguements) making a borderline irresponsible and dangerous comments that being able to walk up to a gun a casually look at it to see if it cocked is a good thing as if it some type of implied safety feature.
It's not. Not one bit. Not in any context.
