Glocks don't have safeties....if you're going to wax sarcastic, do your homework.

I carry a double-action only (hammer doesn't cock, eight pound trigger pull) Kel-Tec P-11, and don't keep a round chambered("up the pipe" is the correct idiom, by the way) because it's even safer that way. I'm willing to rack the slide to make the weapon ready if I need to, and I can do it one-handed if necessary.

I don't think that constitutes being "trigger-happy". The amount of legal grief that awaits a licenced gun-carrier who *displays* (much less points or fires) her weapon without justification is unimaginable.
