Guns, by definition, are not safe. They're literally made to kill people. You can take all the precautions in the world to mitigate the risks, of course, but the safest gun is the one that nobody can touch.
They're made to kill, what they kill is up to the person holding it. They aren't something people should be toting around at the beach, you take them hunting, or to a range.
Genuine question, does anybody ever hunt with pistols?
Long guns are one thing, handguns are pretty explicitly anti-personnel weapons from my understanding.
Occasionally, but no, not really.
The hunters I know who carry a pistol do so do put down the animal in the case that the first shot didn't do it but I don't think it's that common especially now that it's virtually impossible to get a permit for pistol in my country
They're made to kill. Hence, unsafe
What if I put one inside a safe?
How often do you take a safe to the beach?
Then you can throw the safe at someone. Safe is unsafe. Unsafe all the way down
