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.

And there is the complete problem as there are various levels of education....lots, little or none.
