C is okay but why are we not allowed to put the safety on and safely remove all of the ammunition.
Medical staff arn’t trained with guns and they figure there’s less possibility of an accidental discharge the less people are touching it
Oh I apologize, I kind of saw through the lense of an American so I assumed basic firearm knowledge. We have 15 guns per person so there really is no excuse not to know over here. With that in mind the possibility of discharge goes down because a gun with no ammo does not discharge.

We have 15 guns per person

And this is why statistics classes are important. Only 30% of US adults own guns. So at 15 guns per person, that means most of those people own a fuckton of guns. I’d hazard a guess to say most of those people are not in the medical field.

Most American adults do not own a gun, probably have never fired a gun, and their only training is from video games.

Regardless of owning a gun: when they’re so commonplace then you should learn the basics, it could save a life someday knowing about the safety, magazine, chamber, and about never pointing a gun, loaded or otherwise, at anything that you don’t intend to destroy.
Also, a good handful of the people who DO own a weapon, have no training in the weapon and don’t know how to use or handle one safely.
