Your own force determines if the weapon opens or not....

Let me look for that company. I saw a demo at SHOT in 2007 and it was pretty cool. Wicked thick blade....

Aye'! I've seen those on YouTube. I think Cold Steel has a couple of knives like that where you would snag the hook end or rough quil on your pocket and it plops open.

I'll look around for those.....

Jebus, that sounds worse than a pistol who's safety comes off as you clear leather.

No, actually it can be removed normally and without issue. It's a kind of clever way around an "assisted opening" knife. If you take it out straight
it stays closed, but if you "draw" it, it comes open and you are ready to rock....

A pistol who's safety comes off as you clear leather sound good actually, when you are the type to draw to kill not the type that wants to show off his pretty little toy.

The safety should come off just as the finger goes for the trigger. The finger should go for the trigger as the target is identified as a target and only when the shooter intends for the target to die.

In summation, the safety should only come off when the shooter intends for his properly identified target to die.

Matt are you trying to get me stabbed with my new fancy $200 knife and shot with my new fancy $200 rifle? (Oh I am ordering a Mossy from the CMP)...

Just trying to help a brother out. I know though, I'm having a hard time not ordering 2 of them.

That little $30 Al Mar is tempting too.

yet again this isn't a problem if you only draw to kill. step one see the target step two draw your weapon step three aim and fire.

This really isn't a problem with me because Aaron has me trained to unholster the gun and immediatly flick the safety down (nearly all of our guns have the same safety we do this for a reason) He has also taught me never to draw a gun in an unsafe direction basically guns without safeties are not for stupid people.

Bush league.

If you seek "tactical" training, the rules change. When you're stacked up with 5 or 6 buddies on an entry, or you're traveling overwatch up a street, under hostile fire, things are much different than they are when you're on a target range.

Different thread though, I'll let this one get back on track.

see this is true but in this case I wouldn't have the safety on on my gun anyway nor would I point the gun before knowing who I was firing at but I agree this is knives not guns.
