KelTec PF9, DAO with no external safety.

Kel-Tec, headquartered in Cocoa, FL.

...and you realize that CSI is a whole lot of fiction? It's TeeeeeVeeeeeee.

I thought cocked & locked with a 1911 was a bit freaky....at first. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest now. I prefer it to having to get another hand or some object involved to make ready. I can bring the firearm into use with one hand if necessary as I may be using one hand defensively.

If Israeli Method (C3) carry is what you feel more comfortable with, go for it. As to the safety aspect, we all treat any firearm like it's loaded, right? What's the problem?

I eventually got over it, and realize that the only way that they would fire accidentally is if I was careless. As I mentioned in my younger days I have been attacked out of the blue, thankfully only with clown s with knifes and because I was in great shape and trained in hand to hand I came out on the better end but I will always remember that experience and the life lessons it gave me. Now 20 some odd years later I dont have that spry ability and if I am trampled and pounded I dont want to come up the loosing end.

George Zimmerman is a pussy. He got worked over by a 17 year old.

In any case, the math in my head says that I'm more likely to have a careless accident at some point in my life with a chambered Glock, than to be in need of a chambered firearm and a split second decision to pull the trigger at some point in my life.

I carry a unchambed gun because I believe the chances of needing an unchambered firearm at some point in my life are greater than having an accident.

Its all about made up odds for me. Whatever the odds my brain makes up are what I live by, and I can appreciate that everyone else does the same.

If someone says I'd be just as safe carrying a hammer, I take offense.

Big statement calling him a pussy because a 17 year old worked him over. Plenty of 17 yo kids out there would beat your face to a pulp before you reached for your unchambered gun.

Your opinion is yours but it can be used against you. If you had enough time to pull your weapon, chamber a round then aim and fire you should have had enough time to run or fight off the attack non-lethally...then again all 17 yo kids can't take your hard ass now can they....

I was Colorado 5a wrestler of the year my senior year of high school. No 17 year old could take me then, let alone now. I think I'm good.

Because there are people out there with weapons that I should be worried about. But they do not include unarmed lone 17 year olds. For me at least. Maybe you should be worried about them.
