    As a responsible gun owner you know that the safety should always be ON when you are carrying your gun around with you.

    The reason why the safety is ON is because you don't want to accidentally shoot anyone.

    The safety protects other people from being the victims of your gun.

    Nowadays anyone might be concealed carrying Covid19.

    It might even be you and you are unaware that you are locked and loaded with the killer virus.

    So wearing a mask is just like the safety because it stops you from accidentally infecting someone else and potentially killing them and/or their loved ones.

    Wearing a mask is something that all responsible gun owners should be doing because they understand what safe handling of lethal weapons is all about and nowadays they, themselves, could be lethal weapons if they are not wearing a mask.

    This just makes sense, right?

    A good portion of the guns I carry don’t have a safety.

    So what alternative safety measures do you take to ensure that they do not accidentally discharge while you are carrying them in public?

    You’re supposed to keep your booger hook off of the bang switch until actually ready to fire.

    So if anything snagged the bang switch it would go off and potentially injure and/or kill someone.

    Thanks for making my point about responsible gun owners and the need for safety with both lethal weapons and lethal Covid19.

    We already have plenty of evidence of them to date!

    Evidence of hundreds of loaded guns being carried without a problem?

    Only the handful wearing masks fit the definition of responsible gun owners who actually understand what safety is all about during this pandemic.

    Do you wear goggles with your mask?

    Thank you for establishing that you do not understand how masks actually work.

    Masks do not protect YOU from others, they protect others from you in the same manner that the safety on a firearm protects others from you accidentally discharging your firearm and endangering them.

    The mask doesn't protect anyone because the virus is sub 1 micron in size and isn't filtered out by medical masks and bandanas.

    The mask also doesn't protect anyone because people are constantly moving their mask around and not wearing it correctly even if it was capable of filtering out the virus.

    It's just a placebo to keep the sheep calm.

    Just think about all those Covid viruses floating around in the waiting area to get into the store.

    They're going into your body through your eye membranes and your useless mask.

    There is no need for any further affirmation that you are unaware of how masks function when everyone is wearing them.

    Have a nice day!

    Take a rip off your bong, inhale deep, put your mask on and exhale. Did your mask stop the smoke? Then it won’t stop a virus.

    Neither the world health organization, nor center for disease control, can give a concise answer whether or not masks serve to prevent anyone from infection or exposure, or even what type of mask will actually work for such. Back during the start of the coronavirus incident, when it was believed the disease was still limited to the nation of China, it was being reported the usage of mask did nothing more than create a false sense of security.

    Once again you demonstrate that you do not understand how masks function.

    They do NOT protect the wearer!

    They protect OTHERS!

    That is how the SAFETY on a firearm works!

    The safety prevents the firearm from discharging lethal projectiles.

    Cloth masks prevents the infected from discharging lethal viruses by up to 80%.

    Subsequent findings have determined that masks REDUCE the SPREAD of the virus because they are not about YOUR safety but the safety of OTHERS!
