Trap shotguns with release triggers.  Watched one man shoot the trap house twice in a single round using one of those!

No actual experience but I was thinking of getting a Henry 22 lever action rifle. I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible for one to accidentally pull the trigger as the lever comes back after cocking?
I think, therefore I am armed.

I prefer semi auto pistols that are DAO or single action only. The first shot DA, followed by a lighter shorter SA pull can lead to an AD.

Might as well holster a brick and carry it instead.

Hey KK, is that "Personal Self Defense Device" that you listed on that AR classified still for sale?  :rofl:

Actually, now that I think about it, this question is meaningless.  Inanimate objects aren't capable of negligence.

I was sober at the time, but I've since looked at it again while drunk.  And, in both states, I maintain that you cannot ascribe the attribute of negligence to an inanimate object.
