I've never been in an accident but I always wear my seatbelt.
It takes like 5 seconds to do properly for peace of mind. No good reason not to do it but IMO

No doubt. Just an option not discussed.

SigP239HokieI properly stake all of my working/fighting rifles - anything that is more for fun or I may be changing parts out like my 9mm ARs just get properly torqued.

Seriously? What do you suggest? I have had a key come loose in a factory rifle and start short stroking cause the key wasn't staked. Can't fathom why you would be against that...

JoshNCStake. I have had castle nuts loosen on my FA M16 after solely using blue loctite and proper torque.
