Does owning a gun make you safer?

3. If you want safety, I propose the Pretty Damn Safe Open Carry system

Under PDSOC you may carry the gun with you anywhere and if you have a target you're drawing a bead on, the rules are pretty much as they are under any open carry system. The real fun begins when you are not aiming the firearm, i.e. you are not planning an immediate firing. Because you consider safety first and are a very careful and cautious firearms expert and the last thing you want is to inadvertently harm others you should have no trouble with this part of the PDSOC. There is just one simple rule: when not readying the gun to fire, it must be pointed toward your head. You may use various belts, tape, or mechanisms to hold it in place, with or without the safety on, loaded of unloaded, all your choice. Notice because you are an extremely careful gun expert that this is a pretty damn safe way of carrying the gun, as your head will provide a excellent safety pillow for those around you, (though there is a very small chance that they will get splattered with bone, blood, and brains. But their safety is pretty well assured and that's the important thing. You certainly should be able to sleep well at night knowing that you offer no threat to your friends, family, or for that matter, downright strangers.
