I have never understood the fearful position many folks on this list present with handling a weapon . ie, don’t handle it excessive it might go off” “never handle the gun more than required, you might have an ND” both of those phrases and MANY more are found in post here, and I find them curious. If you know in advance you are unqualified to handle a weapon, (the only reason for such a mental position like those above IMHO) Then put the unloaded weapon back in the gun safe until you can get the training, practice sufficiently to not be so concerned that you will mishandle your weapon. Being so scared of your weapon, you refuse to touch it out of a holster for fear it will go off, is simply unfathomable to me.
I agree with you but many years ago I remember reading that some large police departments started requiring their plain clothes officers to use paddle holsters so that they could remove their guns and secure them in their desk without removing them from their holsters. They were having too many NDs.
We are talking police here, not your average careful CHL...present company excepted of course.
