Because you dont carry all the time.

Its the reason im going to go to all the classes and training offered for concealed carry but am not sure ill ever do so.

You either carry all the time in every facet of your day to day life. Or you shouldn't carry at all.

It doesn't have to be an all or nothing situation, one just has to fucking check that their pistol is where it's supposed to be (i.e. on their waist, in a bag, etc.) whenever they go somewhere. It's truly not that hard.

The reason I feel that level of commitment is necessary is because of the level of awareness necessary to carry safely and responsibly. It has to be on the same level of awareness as your wallet, keys, and shoes.

Especially since Glock is the most popular pistol manufacturer in the US and thier guns dont have traditional safeties.

I don't really see how they're related, but ultimately the lack of awareness period in this situation is abhorrent.

I put the two together because in my opinion if you carry a firearm without a safety and work around children who dont know shit about guns, you need to be hyper vigilant. And in this case im reasonably sure the person involved who fail to be considered merely vigilant.

I disagree for a few reasons, but it's a fair take.
