1) It's always loaded. 2) Safeties are mechanical things and mechanical things fail.

It's too easy to forget whether or not you have a round in the chamber.

As for assault rifles, they should be limited to Military and law enforcement use only IMO.

As for the old SOB that shot the guy in the Movie theater, he should be tried, convicted and executed IMO.

But don't look for that to happen, this is fucking Florida after all, and he's a white dude.

However. it should have never gone that far.

He complained to the management.

That was the right thing to do.

In a perfect world the Movie Theater would have sent someone out to tell that other Dude to either put his cell phone away or we will throw you out of here.
The movie had not started, the guy texting should not have been bothered at all.

I think it is Pete's shorthand for saying treat all weapons as loaded and do not trust safety mechanisms.

The scary thing is that I have been here long enough to interpret what Pete posts lol

Well, knowing pete is proud t possess an illegal firearm and reading many other things for him I think he's being very straight forward. His firearm, that is within reach when at home, is loaded at all times and does not have a safety on or does not have one at all.

You do realize that an unloaded firearm is a worthless piece of steel, right?

I have wondered about one thing.

Isn't texting is pretty quiet?

There really isn't anything to hear, so why get bent out of shape about it.

I mean as long as the sound is turned off on the phone.

Now people who leave their phones on so that they ring, or that talk on them in the Theater, they should be thrown out.

Mine are always loaded except when I'm cleaning them.

My same thoughts. But the show had not begun so "no harm, no foul"

The "patriot" might have missed a bit of his "shoot'em up" show so it was important that he murdered some child's father....... (thinking about this, we need a new law that says if you do something like this (cause a "stand your ground" incident) then your family should be financially responsible for the murdered parents kid. 100%....buying food, clothes , cars, college, ......)

Are y'all still talking about guns or is this about something else?
