If you choose to treat firearms as if they unloaded or in a casual manner - then you do lack a certain attitude - one that would qualify you as responsible with a firearm.
I am not sure what "howling gun" is or how it somehow qualifies you to speak on gun safety - but you admitted you are not expert. I linked you to one (of MANY) that gave examples of why your position was wrong. Argue all you like - the fact remains that your arguing with experts that say your wrong.

It is not so difficult. when it comes to shooting center of mass....if you don't have the skill you probably would not do much better with your preferred method.

Most people don't have the skill - which is why ownership and especially carrying a firearm comes with the responsibility to train with it - to know it and be able to operate it effectively and safely at any time. This is why most states have both a "book" and range proficiency requirement for concealed carry permits.

I own no gun now though and that's fine....

Yes it is - and actually is a bit of a relief.
To any and all other readers of this thread - take note of something. Do you find it most interesting that the people who are arguing against what the experts say is the safest way to treat firearms are the ones who don't actually own any guns? Quite ironic, isn't it?
Not only do civilian gun experts say carrying loaded is safest, but guess how your local police and sheriff deputies carry..... That's right - one ready to fly in an emergency. All the people YOU rely on to know how to use a gun safely - carry it the same way the civilian experts recommend. So if there is a question in your mind - go out to a range and learn, get trained on a firearm (even if you don't want to own one) and understand how seriously the vast majority of the "gun nuts" take safety and responsibility. You might find that we are nuts - about safety!
