[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 1023108, member: 13285"] This idea to carry an uncocked bolt rifle with the firing pin resting on a live round in the chamber is crazy. Part of the firearms safety course in our area is to demonstrate this exact thing to new shooters. The instructor loads an EMPTY cartridge with a live primer into the chamber and uncocks the bolt as described. He asks the class if this is a safe thing to do? He then bangs the butt of the rifle onto the table to simulate a rifle being dropped onto the ground. The primer goes off 100% of the time. This is fact. Try it yourself with a[B][U] DUMMY [/U][/B]round if you don't believe me. [/QUOTE]
