Walking with cocked gun
Was watching Global news this morning about STARS saving a hunters life. In the interview he said he was walking with his rifle and a branch caught the strap and the rifle fell to the ground. The rifle discharged shooting himself in the back.
I also see on TV hunting shows where the first thing they do is chamber a round into the barrel, or after a shot, chamber a round , put on the safety and set the gun down in the boat or where ever. It is a wonder there is not more gun accidents. I chamber a round if I am about to shoot, the amount of time saved by having a gun cocked on safe and having to take the safety off saves maybe 2-3 seconds rather than chambering a round when needed. After saving
3 seconds by having a load in the barrel, they then stare thru the scope for 20 or more seconds. What do I know, just been using different guns for 60 years.
