>Not so much with the safety catches

Well, obviously not for the revolvers, they don't even have such a thing. I was talking about the Hammerless. When I did carry mine, it was with a loaded magazine but an empty chamber (which I believe the hardcore guys, the ones who speak almost entirely in initialisms and tribal code phrases, call "condition three"). I eventually stopped carrying it altogether, having realized that doing so was seven different shades of preposterous. I keep my license current, because you never know, but I don't bother actually carrying a gun much any more. Besides, it's illegal on the University campus, which (apart from the inside of my car, where a gunfight is unlikely to break out) is where I spend maybe 80% of my time when I'm not at home.

We're well outside the perimeter fence of this topic now, but could always pursue it further in General or private-mail if circumstances warrant.
