[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1012400, member: 48043"] moaning about safeties and firing pins resting on a primer masks the real problem.... people walking around with no target in sight with a rifle with a chambered round. If you are using a single shot this is a bit more of an issue, but most rifles with a mag. have plenty of shots at the ready and playing with the bolt takes a second or so less than fully cycling a round. I'm probably one of a very few people who have shot someone accidentally here on LRH while hunting. The reason; I slipped on wet grass as I pulled up and swung on a pheasant and jerked the shotgun back and to the side. My Pops took a number of pellets from the edge of the pattern to the leg from a bit over 100 yards away. Never ***-U-Me safety!!! Never!!! [/QUOTE]
