too much
Masterpiecearms man, you are simply too much for me to handle. If I could, let me give you a history lesson?
Safeties weren't much used when guns are first being made were they?
Why of course they were. If a gun is unloaded, it is safe. If you have a hammer that must be cocked to fire and it is let down, that's a safety as well. Most six guns of old had to be carried with only five shells loaded in it or an accident could happen if the hammer was bumped against a live round. This was a safety as well and most smart folks around realized it was necessary unless you were involved in a gun fight at the time.
Along came Mr. Winchester and he built repeating rifles that had safeties as well. If the lever wasn't closed, the gun wasn't suppose to fire just as if the hammer wasn't cocked and so on and so on. Then came Mr. Mossberg who invented a simple thing called the trasnfer bar. Guess what, it's a safety that changed the way revolvers performed and allowed for 6 rounds to be carried in the cylinder since the firing pin was moved to the frame and the hammer had to be cocked before the gun could fire.
You complained about your more recent guns having to many safeties. That is perfectly fine, just go buy an older modeled gun that isn't full of useless safeties, you just might ought to buy a gun that was built before 1870 though, because ever since then, most guns have one form of a safety involved with their operation. I don't see the need for a lot of the extra safeties that are forced on us, but they don't effect my shooting of the gun since it doesn't take a rocket scientist to shoot the gun. I do agree that the one where a key has to be put in a gun is just a wrongful death suit away when a bad guys kills a man because he couldn't get the key to work while under diress.
If a safety bothers you so much that you cannot shoot the gun, by all means go right ahead and render it useless. JUst follow some of the advise that you were given and fix them back if you ever decide to sell it or in case someone borrows it from you. We all love you man and just want you to be here for the long haul.
Have a great one man.
