Yeah OK, are you telling me that you are continually cycling your action repeatedly throughout your hunting day? I take it you eat tag soup every year. Not only do I always have a round in the chamber while hunting, I've spent quite literally thousands of hours over the course of my career carrying a readied weapon over all types of terrain, in all seasons, all types of weather by both day and night and I have never had a negligent discharge. On the contrary, the overwhelming majority of ND's occur when the user standing still, is cycling the action, loading or unloading due to poor trigger discipline and bad drills. To be honest the only ND's I have seen professionally over the last two decades were either inexperienced personnel clearing weapons at unloading bays. ND's happen due to bad drills, end of story.
