Safety is Dangerous
“What is the most important thing on the range?” yelled the Navy Firearms Instructor to the group of young sailors amassed in front of him. “Safety!” was the reply that they had been taught to yell back in unison.

After the twenty minute safety briefing (four, top to bottom pages, read outloud mandatorily every morning) the students were allowed to begin the training day while holding their unloaded rifles and pistols.

Firearms training is not the only area that claims to place “Safety” above all else. I have been inside of numerous manufacturing facilities and have seen large signs posted on the walls extolling the virtues of safety.

“Safety is Our #1 Goal” read a large banner posted near the entry to the employee breakroom/lunch area.

    Re: drawing gun, I just hope that the “police safety is the primary objective” mantra doesn’t devolve into police approaching every traffic stop with gun in hand “just in case”.
