Can you do it instantly every time you pick it up? This would be unacceptable for most gun owners if it happened even every thousand rounds. It's rational.

You're already making a ton of assumptions about the entire possible solution space (specifically that it requires an active effort to unlock the gun that necessitates "fumbling").

How is that rational?
