I wouldn't bet my life or any others on it. Good luck in a court of law for a defense. The only safe firearm is an unloaded one!
I wouldn't bet my life or any others on it. Good luck in a court of law for a defense. The only safe firearm is an unloaded one!If I understand correctly, virtually all modern pistols and revolvers will not fire based on an impact such as being dropped and landing on a hard surface. Is this also true for rifles and shotguns?

Not true loaded weapons are perfectly safe as long as they're in proper working order, used, and handled properly. Weapon can't go off by itself. It needs some type of human interaction. Even have to pull the trigger or Miss handle it.I wouldn't bet my life or any others on it. Good luck in a court of law for a defense. The only safe firearm is an unloaded one!
That's a pretty definitive statement. Remington Model 70 variants have all KINDS of well-documented "mysteries" calling that definitive statement into question, with lawyers & juries to prove it. Me? I've tuned target triggers, uhh...too far, and had the rifle "click" when I test-bounced the butt on the floor. It was "working properly" until that exact (and rather embarrassing) moment. So (IMHO) we'll have to agree to (respectfully)...disagree. :biggrin2:Not true loaded weapons are perfectly safe as long as they're in proper working order, used, and handled properly.

I never said they were drop safe. What I said was they need some type of human interaction have to be dropped , trigger has to be pulled or they have to be missed handled. so I don't understand what you're disagreeing with me about . Are you trying to tell me that a loaded rifle sitting in a closet in proper working condition, never dropped and nobody ever touched it, going to go off by itself ? There are plenty of weapons that of the when dropped can cause the firing pin to strike the primers and cause them to fire. Older single action revolver's for one. In addition there's quite a few rifles and shotguns I wouldn't drop on the ground and expect them not to go off . So once again I don't know what you disagreement with me about unless you're trying to tell me that a loadedweapon, sitting in a corner, never been touched, can go off all by itself. I'd like to see that.That's a pretty definitive statement.

The French don't count. Was it a Frenchman invented the needle gun?You need to ask someone from France.
Customer shot himself in his leg when his loaded .380 fell out of his pants pocket and hit the floor while trying on pants in the dressing room.

Dose anyone actually read a post before they comment on it. Or do they just read what they want to here!Customer shot himself in his leg when his loaded .380 fell out of his pants pocket and hit the floor while trying on pants in the dressing room.
