I now use a gun with an automatic safety, which I like for hunting, but I hunted for years with a Browning super and no automatic safety. It was no problem then to be without an auto safety because I was always aware. Problem is now, going back to one without the auto safety. I really have to think about it and have spaced it a couple times before catching myself and manually putting the safety in the on position. I would never buy one of those guns with a backward safety where you pull back on the safety to fire.....disaster waiting to happen imho. I guess bottom line is to always be aware whether with or without the auto safety.

Socialism is almost the worst.
