Saftey.

I'll second what D. Hansen stated.

I would not hunt with anyone who carried a firearm "off safe" - ever.

Add to that fact in a deadly force situation the stress factors. several weeks ago; i had to draw down on a guy coming at me with a large stick.

After all was said and done, and i started thinking about the whole scenerio, i don't even remember drawing my weapon, it was just there in my hand where it needed to be. I index my trigger finger on the slide saftey stop, saftey never was disengaged.

I guess i've always been trained to leave the saftey on until the weapon i'm using needs to be fired. I really don't think at this stage of the game, i would want to change this mindset.
