Just out of curiosity, when and/or where did the term "bang switch" originate?

Probably the same place we got "booger hook".

I could go on a real rant about how much it torques me to see people posing for the camera with their "booger hook on the bang switch"......but I won't.

I figured it was a product of "white ebonics".

we used to call it a "kill switch" in a former avocation, so my guess is it got taken from there.

First I heard "Keep your booger hook off the bang switch" was Clint Smith of American Handgunner
