Technical mountain climbers don't use 1/4" hardware store nylon braid for safety line, yet that would probably be a safer proposition than to trust the safety systems often found on many weapons. Don't pretend that years of gunsmithing or whatever somehow means others shouldn't learn about what it is that they trust their safety to. There is a reason why every hunter/gun safety training program in the country emphasizes the idea of never pointing a weapon at anything you would not be willing to shoot.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
