While I agree with what you’ve said here, one can argue that carrying a firearm that isn’t locked and loaded or missing a manual safety is still better than no firearm at all. Given the survival situation...(knife attack vs employee place shooting)...the needs of the situation can dictate the tactics.

I get what you’re saying and agree with the logic (point and shoot and beauty in simplicity). There is a comfort that comes with just having a firearm at all, regardless of whether it’s chambered and not in need of a safety (wheel gun).
