That's a good argument for not carrying.
Thats not what I said but if that is your opinion you don't have to carry.

You start your car several times a day on the average; you most likely will go your entire life and never pull your gun.

I understand that, but I was pointing out the naivete of your statement. To carry a gun and expect to never need it -to not even plan for its use- is beyond naive. It's dangerous, to say the least, and invites disaster.
I remember my older friend and cousin (both were AP) telling me that when they were on duty in the Air Force they were forced to carry condition 3 with their 1911. They said that they learned how to chamber a round using the front sight against the flappy holster mouth during the draw.
Also the spetsnez supposedly used that funky holster design and carry empty chamber and drawing the gun by pushing down chambers the round. For those that really are serious about it maybe that rig and gun would be the answer.
Oh, look, another reply without any substance.Thats me, Mr. Naive. Thanks for your guidance.

What a thought-provoking, well-reasoned response.
Is that the definition of Israeli draw? Or is that technically something else?
I can say that racking the slide everytime you draw works in Hollywood.

I was thinking about that Spetsnaz holster too!

Apparently they have a "push/pull" version too. You push down to rack the slide, then pull up to disengage the gun from the holster.
No it's not. It's common sense. It's statistically obvious.
Half the population at the very least doesn't even carry a gun. If even half of the half that do actually ever need it then 75% of the population never needed to draw their gun for protection.
Paranoia and propaganda are dangerous when mixed.
There is a law enforcement/firefighters training center in Indy. They don't allow weapons to be carried because of liability because someone, 99% likely to have been a "trained" police officer, negligently caused the firing of a bullet through the ceiling of the men's restroom at this facility. I don't say he fired it, as I don't know if he pulled the trigger, or if he was so lax in his handling of his gun, he dropped it and it fired. This should _never_ happen. The only way I would give someone as pass is if at the same time they were removing their weapon, they suffered a medical condition...then that is at least somewhat understandable.
