Though there is truth the the fact that you should never depend on the safty vs your trigger finger... there is clearly a serious issue with a gun that fires when it falls because a gun that will fire under such conditions may also discharged if it were hit by a basball hat, hammer etc... this is not some sort of fantasy, it's easy to think that a LCP recall is a "none issue"
until you think about the possability of being hit by an attacker around your belly or hip by a blunt object (where most people carry) and the gun fires unintentionally only to blow chunks of your own flesh off... that does not seem like a "none issue" to me.
If those gun slingers considered unintentional discharges a "none issue" why would they carry the hammer down on an empty chamber on those colt SAA types?
