So you think it's cool to handle handguns when you're drunk because you
"know" it's not loaded?

Well, that isn't exactly how I remember it going but
[justification snipped]

I am _strongly_ on the "right to bear arms" side but even if
Willi is half-right, that scenario demonstrated irresponsible
behavior, and _my_ radar woulda' been pegged had I been there.
(If Willi isn't even half-right then I'd love to hear from
other people who were there, saying so. And I wouldn't want to
hear "it wasn't _that_ bad" -- there is no "that bad" with
guns -- either it was ok behavior or it wasn't.)

FWIW, I don't view Willi as having "extreme phobia". He sounds
very reasonable to me, although he's clearly on the left side
of reasonable. And responsible gun owners _ought_ to bend over
backwards to make non-gun owners comfortable. Otherwise you're
just turning people against your "cause".

And a gun is _never_ a club.
