That's what those ugly *** henrys are for.

Judging by your picture, you're not so pretty either.

I remember an old Twilight Zone episode, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

Everything I look in the mirror I see my dad staring back at me. Horrifying!

Simple. You decide to unload the gun and see that stupid safety button and start thinking about how you could just click it and unload all 10 rounds without worrying about bumping the trigger. Then you hop in the truck and go to the next deer driving location, load up, chamber and lower to half cock. The stupid safety never enters your mind because it has one specific use (unloading) while the main safety for 150 years is half cock. So now the big buck comes running through and stops at 5 yards. You shoulder the gun, cock it and let it fly just to hear the saddest little clink you could imagine. Nobody runs around with a lever gun at full cock and people would look at you funny if you did.

You ever use a 1911? You don’t run them at half-cock when carrying them. My point is that moving between two different safety systems is what gets people in trouble. I see your point. My first experience with a 336 was to determine whether to use half-cock or use the safety. I chose the safety as it was consistent with my bolt gun use and my 1911 use.

So the theory there is if you don't have a 1911 you're good to go?

For me, it comes down to muscle memory and doing things the same way. YMMV
