While I've been near the top of that, I don't routinely operate in that environment and it's a rare occasion that I'll utilize the 3.3 sec, 0-60 capability. I have however taken the anti-lock brakes to the max. (Thanks, distracted drivers!)

I like it... You don't mean you don't look for an opportunity to legally make that 0-60 run in 3.3? :-)

I dunno what the 9mm insults are about..

You should see how big parents eyes get when they find out they were wrong about that one.

Like I said earlier, to each his own.

One day, you'll be right. It could be today. It could be next year.
Again, it's added delay at the cost of the speed at which I could fire.
Honestly, I think part of is basic training for me as a kid where I was taught you don't carry a ready-to-fire weapon until you're ready to fire it.

How? Mine are old enough to pull a trigger, but not rack a slide. It's not a sense of security, it's an added layer of delay. It'd give me a longer period of time to react if one of them managed to get tangled up in it. I can't see how that would happen, but literally it can be bumper cars around these guys. And yes, we're starting to teach gun safety and they're old enough to understand, but young enough not to be trusted.

I get that a gun that isn't "ready" can delay being able to fire and that such a condition is a tactical disadvantage..

My holsters all cover the trigger and retain well.. I appreciate those suggestions.

Young kids. They're like bumper cars at waist level.
