Quoted: I used to have a Raven .25 that ran fine. Got it for something like $50 new so I thought what the hell. No way in hell I would carry it ccw with a round in the snout though. They do not incorporate the necessary safeties and endanger anyone around you if you drop it. BTW, if you carry ccw sooner or later you WILL drop a pistol. Count on it.

That is true but one person on this board tells me that these pistols ARE drop safe.
He also claims even if they are not drop safe only a moron would ever drop a pistol. He claims not to be a moron and not subject to dropping a pistol.
So in his opinion it is perfectly safe for HIM to carry one of these with a loaded chamber and if we disagree WE are the morons.
It is people like him that cause serious accidents where innocent people are shot and all of us gun owners get the blame for it.

1) I don't carry the pistol, and I don't know how many times I have told you that. If you want to bring this up again at least get it through your thick skull that I
do not carry the pistol.
2) Only a moron would drop a pistol. Period. A handgun is nothing more than a handle with a barrel, if you drop it you lack the manual dexterity, reliability and common sense nessesary to carry a weapon. Period. You can make excuses about how "shit happens", and "everybody does it eventually" but the fact is it is
your fault if you drop a weapon, and it
is due to the fact that you are an idiot of some kind.
3) The ultimate responsibility of
any gun "accident" is that of the gun owner. You can blame it on the pistol, you can blame it on the holster, or you can blame it on your greasy hands, but in the end it is
your fault if a gun hurts someone. Guns do not go off by themselves, if you drop it the "POS pot metal sear" is not at fault, you are. There is absolutely
no reason for a concealed weapon to be out of a proper holster in a public area unless it is needed for self defense, and if you carry a gun around loose in a pocket or purse than you should not be carrying period.
4) This thread did not have anything to do with me. If you want to spread the word about the dangers of these pistols by all means do so, but your points can be expressed without making any reference to me, or "that person on the board". I never said that the pistols were drop safe, I said they do not go off by themselves and they don't, dropping a loaded firearm in a crowded public area is the fault of idiocy, not the fault of a poorly designed handgun. As a test of my hypothesis that "guns do not go off by themselves" I will load my POS Jennings .22 with a blank and set it in the safe, as soon as it goes off I will notify the board and apologize to you for making the ridiculous statement that "guns do not go off by themselves".
