I have had dozens of guns and handle guns a lot. I've handled a few with broken or intermittently broken safety mechanisms. The only time I had one go off unexpectedly, I was uncapping my muzzleloading rifle. The hammer fell and it went off. The gun had set triggers and the hammer was locked. I am not sure why it fell but everyone was behind me and it was pointed at the sky away from them. Other than people being upset that they were surprised by the boom ( muzzleloaders are really loud) no harm because I knew gun safety. It should be taught in schools.
My nephew goes to the University of Montana. They have gun racks for you to store your guns all over campus. Nobody gets shot and if a gunman tried to shoot up the campus he would be riddled with bullets shortly after he started his killing spree. Compare that to gun restricted areas like Virginia Tech were gunmen kill until they run out of clips and ammunition. I know I would feel much safer with a well armed populous to deal with these crazies rather than waiting for them to run out of ammo. The police don't rush in to save anyone. Look at Columbine. They take a long time to get there and set up a perimeter and wait to see how many within the perimeter get slaughtered.
