I love the "I invented guns" guy as much as I like "I've killed every and all animals over the last 90 years" guy as well. A special shout out to the friends, neighbors uncle who is a "police and military expert out there told me so" guy too.
But let me just offer that .......
I go swimming after a big lunch.
I run with pointy scissors.
But I leave my chamber empty until I'm ready to shoot (or in a final stalk/set up in blind/tree stand situation). It's what I choose to do. I just feel better/safer that way.
So, for everyone, do what you want, it's up to you, but just be aware of the potential and understand the risks .... which, I would offer, most of you do - so I'm good with it.
At the end of the day - the right answer and procedure for you is one where you understand the potential and have made an educated decision on what you choose to do.
