[QUOTE="ID Mtn Man, post: 2120006, member: 97084"] Agree with this completely. It takes a lot of courage for someone to post up something like this. If it helps, my attitude about risk has completely changed since working in the ER. An astounding number of self inflicted firearms injuries I see are those more experienced with firearms. As with avalanche safety, it is often the most experienced skiers and mountaineers who make fatal decisions. The thought pattern is frequently traced back to group think and "I've skied this slope in the same conditions a dozen times before". I find this analogous to "this load has worked in my rifle". In the past, I've pushed the limits with reloading. A lot of that changes when you see the life altering effects of a gun injury. [/QUOTE]
