Txi....you summed up my entire point when you stated that they are an inaniment object that require an outside force to cause them to react the way that a firearm operates. I agree that people can do stupid things, but I would never call well maintained firearm unsafe based soley upon personal opinion. Thanks for the insight Txi. Your opinion is respected as always.
Geez, let me be more specific. I didn't know I was on trial. Yes, I am aware that the gun itself would not spontaneously fire off. Read my signature... that should sum up my feelings on NDs. My point, as you obviously were too excited to pause and consider, was that the Glock firearm is, as I call it, unsafe. What I mean is that unlike a gun with a physical safety switch or even one like my XD, the Glock takes MUCH less effort to engage. This is not a contest to see who is cooler, the Glock-heads or the XD-fans... In fact it has nothing to do with that. Drop it. You and I are in total agreement anyhow; No gun is going to fire without a catalyst forcing it to do so.
Ouch, sunburn? I don't think he was challenging you or putting you on trial.

It is an inanimate object, without being safe or unsafe on it own. ;)
Or that the safety of a firearm soley depends on the discipline and catiousness of the carrier? That was the point of my post.
Being around guns and people shooting guns as much as I have been, I have learned that people do dumb things with firearms, even well trained people, but guns don't act alone.

I agree with you mostly.

because with a Glock one must press the trigger to break it down for cleaning. (which is a serious flaw, IMO)

?????
Glocks are unsafe?!?
One of the safest pistols on the market shows the research from Guns and Ammo Magazine. The internal mechanism is completely disabled until your finger is ON the trigger.
not true AT ALL. It is disabled until AN OBJECT is on the trigger. Fingers are but one object that can fire the weapon. ;)
