Guns and Ammo Thread

99% of the time people shoot themselves with their own gun when there is no safety. I'm pretty sure a "bad guy" is not going to go after a big jacked up dude, but rather someone weak and easily intimidated.

73.5% of all statistics are made up. You probably also think 99% of all crims are weak and easily intimidated rather than big and jacked up.

Assuming the bad guy is going to let you dictate the terms of the fight is the leading cause of death in criminal encounters. This sort of blind optimism is known colloquially as "whistling past the graveyard."

Correction, it’s 68%

Do whatever feels safe to you, I'm not judging. I have a gun and it has a safety. I keep the safety on because I don't want to accidentally shoot myself or anyone around me. Having no safety or the safety off is also blind optimism that no accident is going to happen. Also, I realize most gun owners are responsible, but I also know that half of the people fall below the 50% bell curve on the intelligence scale. That's too many idiots owning guns for my comfort. I'd rather be in a room with no guns than a room with everyone carrying.
