I've always carried my rifle or shotgun or handgun Hot! Kinda thought that was they're purpose."Color me stupid"! Until the last 25 or so years, in the terrain I hunted, often a successful "season" depended upon getting a shot off in well under 2 seconds (closer to fractions of seconds). If you weren't "hot"....may as well take up golf, or some other obscene 4 letter sport! memtb
