Nobody applies that "logic" to any other aspect of their lives, so why would you apply it to a carry gun?

I didn't hear him say that. He's saying that a gun that requires cleaning and lubing after five hundred rounds, or it starts increasingly to fumble, isn't a handgun that you necessarily need to worry about carrying for self-defense, so long as you've never had a fumble prior to that number of rounds before a clean/lube, and you only carry it in a clean and lubed condition.


No, he didn't say 500. He said "how many you carry on you every day".

You're being overly literal to score a polemical point.
