    That only works if the gun has one (a large minority of them don’t)

        Many modern guns have internal safeties that stop the gun going off from being dropped or what not, but have no external safety to prevent the trigger being pulled. Like Glocks.

        They don’t always work, though. Also older guns and revolvers don’t have jack shit because they’re either older than the safety lock or a safety lock wouldn’t work anyway.

          And those old guns are pretty cool, too. You don’t carry them tho. You put them in your collection.
