3 minutes of terror and now I feel really dumb

7. I need to practice shooting and home defense. It didn't occur to me until it was over that I never turned off the safety on the shotgun. I guess this would support the argument to not have a safety at all, like on the Glock, because in the heat of the moment, it's quite easy, for a layman anyway, to forget about it.

This is suprising to me.

For the longest time I shot glocks and sigarms pistol which don't have safteys. Then I purchased an H&K USP VAR1 that has a saftey and I keep it engauged at all times.

When I purchased this my only fear was that whn SHTF I would forget to disengauge the saftey.

Then, on night about a week after the purchase I was upstairs in bed when I heard something loud downstairs. I live alone with my girlfriend so I knew that there where no friendlies down there.

So I rolled off the bed and grabbed my new USP and low and behold I noticed the quiet sound of a "click" and realized without even knowing it I had disengauged the saftey mechanism.

Luckily, it was just some dishes that settled vey loudly in the kitchen sink down stairs.

IMO, You need to turn in your weapons (all of them).

You could have killed your own parents, or your kid .
What causes you to be so paranoid?
