[Terry Mross]

When I pick up a gun I remove the magazine, or rounds, check to insure there’s none in the chamber then point the gun up or down and pull the trigger. I feel safer when I hear the “click”. Did this one time and shot a hole in the wall. Scared the crap outta’ me. Guess I forgot to eject the round from the chamber.

I can and does happen to the best of us. That is why the gun for home defense is a REVOLVER. No chambering a round, no safety.

Grab gun. Point. Pull trigger.

Much easier for the little lady to do. The last thing anybody needs is her to pull a gun on an intruder only to have it go ‘click’ ‘click’ ‘click’ because she forgot to take off the safety.
