Famous man eater hunter, Jim Corbett, wrote that he never carried a cocked gun, he always had the safety on. Read it in the Man Eating Tigers of Kumaon. This from an experienced hunter is shocking, imagine what the inexperienced think about the magic powers of that safety button!

Yes, a safety is not directly involved in the cocking system. Which is exactly why it should not be trusted!

A safety, hammer intercepting or trigger blocking, does NOT make the gun safe. Which perhaps explains all armie's insistence on "making safe" which does not involve the safety at all.
