Not sure to whom "we collectively" refers,
Peter suggested we move on on a different thread, somebody
+1'd him and I am doing like he asked.

Why yes. We've had our own "lawmaker" unsafely handling firearms in the chamberIf only politicians were as scrutinized as we, by LE.
I gotta tell you, I don't envy them, they got a tough job. They're getting it from all sides. They have target hazards not just for the protection of lawmakers, but for the protection of the large amount of people going in and out of there. The name and address is overly excessive, but whether I do not agree, I do sympathize.
One scenario I think is not out of the realm of possibilities is for the gun-grabbers to find a nut within their ranks (not at all hard to do) one that is really down for the struggle to go off and purposefully pop a round to discredit gun owners. That would automatically put us on the defense. If I made the rules, here goes....... I would make some form of retention holster for pistols mandatory with all barrels facing the floor, that'd go for LEO too. I was in the elevator several years ago and some nut pulled a single action pistol out of his holster to show someone. I think it was a black powder showpiece. There were others not with us that were in the elevator, I cringed. I regret not saying anything.
I have kind of digressed a little bit, but whether I may not agree, I do sympathize with them.
In related news, there is an article today about a Kentucky Lawmaker and a negligent discharge.

sympathize with them. And you do not make the "rules". Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda have no basis in reality, just memory.
If SCOTUS says that LEOs do NOT have a duty to protect, why would you think differently?
Unsafe handling/AD/ND can only be eliminated by eliminating guns - an idea to which you are unfortunately contributing in a high profile way.
I think, like yours, to express his opinion - there the similarity ends.What exactly is the point of your post?
PM sent - this really needs to stop.That's just ridiculous, forum moderator or not, you've taken one heck of a liberty bunching me in with that crowd. And bull! guns don't go off by themselves. Just like that corrections officer at VCU and how the article was written - like the gun just decided to go off on it's own and not a negligent discharge.
You ever lump me with an anti again, even in a dream, when you wake up you ought to call me and apologize. You have my cell number Grape! lol

And as as a note make sure to leave pocket knives, and nail files outside the building.:banghead:
