I'm still mad about that %^&*# 'loaded chamber indicator'. What kind of idiot sees the need for that? I might even forgive Ruger for that...but this damnable thing that makes it impossible to fire the gun unless the mag is in it? JFC!!!! What nonexistent problem is that idiotic thing supposed to solve? Then there was this 'key' thing that came in the box but I don't think it does anything...there is a recess for it in the gun toward the back in some pictures I've seen...but my particular gun doesn't accommodate it. I had heard that some gun manufacturers were making keyed guns in order to placate the pencil headed, panty waisted limp wristed safety wanks...and I almost puked when I saw some lever gun manufacturers are now putting sliding safeties on their guns.
Yanow....I would like to take this opportunity to invite the OHAS, the litigation lawyers, the bedwetters and other safety obsessed finger wagging nannies and fascists...to collectively FOAD!
My gun is either clear, or I am actively shooting it. I am a gun club duffer, not a tactical operator that carries his guns in a bewildering variety of tactical readiness conditions. If I ever DO find myself in a tactical situation, and for some godly unknown reason I am shooting a .22 auto...my finger is on the bang switch ready to go! Other than that, it is either on the shooting bench locked open with the mag out, or in a locked case or cabinet.
Why are we putting idiots in charge of idiot-proofing our guns?
