I'd say, if you have a firearm with a manual safety on it, TRAIN to turn it off when you move your finger to the trigger. Always assume that the safety moved to safe position. Some people train to flip the safety off when they draw.

If you hate manual safeties, then get a Glock, Springfield or a brand that offers a model without one. The NRA seems to dislike safeties as they always teach "Never to depend on one, as they fail". I'd love to see some statistics to back up that theory. And I don't mean like the Remington 700 rifles that had a design flaw, but and actual mechanical safety failure.
