Since I'm not trying to change anybody else's mind, and they sure aren't about to change mine... I'll just say, thinking that a worst case scenario is indeed a POSSIBILITY (note that I did not say "probability") is NOT "BS" and is NOT "insane"... and I will leave you to your own end.
...... As such, i have no problem dropping a loaded Glock in front of a classroom of students on a regular basis to illustrate the point..............
And, as I posted earlier in this thread, a friend of mine was nervous about carrying with a round chambered, so I chambered a round in my G19, and threw it down my basement stairs onto concrete. Guess what? It was fine. .........
Don't need luck, I have confidence in my tools ..........
...I have confidence in my students.

It's 100% imaginary. The worst case scenario is something on the gun breaks, in which case it is still incapable of firing by design. It's like saying that, worse case scenario, if I fill my car with the wrong grade oil, it will turn into a rocket ship and propel me into the sun. It's not going to happen. The worst case scenario is the worst thing that could possibly happen under the circumstances, not the worst thing you can possibly imagine.

I'm having difficulty disputing the logic of this post.
Really now? I'm having trouble with the "logic." Nothing is ever going to happen, so how then, is it dumb?
What happens when one of your students tries that trick while not carrying a magic Glock?
That won't happen right?
I would be willing to drop my G19 off of a skyscraper with one in the pipe. Too bad there's nowhere I can go to the top of a skyscraper with a G19...
I don't understand what benefit is conveyed to students by dropping loaded guns. The concept can be taught adequately without doing so, no matter how remote the risk. All the demonstration does is potentially breed complacency and carelessness.
Meh. Safety mindset is safety mindset, period.
Why let yourself be lax?
