Come ON! Do you trust these guys to be here or not?
The AR isn't drop safe so you're gaining nothing by constantly thumb ****ing the safety.... assuming you have a shooter who has trigger finger discipline. And if a shooter doesn't have trigger finger discipline, then the safety is a false sense of safety for a dangerous person anyway.
If my rifle is deployed, in my hands for any reason... the safety is OFF! I only put the safety on if I'm separating myself from the weapon... or at the specific direction of an instructor to go "on safe and let 'em hang".
