Some SWAT Schools do teach this. I dont agree with it. There was a SWAT Cop not to long ago in our county that was killed by a round from another officers M4 when that officer became engaged in a struggle with a crook over his gun and it went off. Dont know if there were any CQB training issues or not, but one must wonder if the utilization of a safety would have changed that outcome.
