[QUOTE="NORAG, post: 1025358, member: 86029"] I agree with Topgun 30-06 on this. I carry empty and even when I've jumped game I've had better than 50% success getting a kill shot after taking the time to chamber a round. I used to work in our local hospital ER and saw a number of "accidents" where friends and family shot each other thinking the safety would work or there was no way they could bump the rifle hard enough to fire a round. My own cousin shot through the floor of my truck while I was zipping down the highway because he thought the safety was on so he pulled the trigger with the pin resting on a live round. Establish a sage protocol and stick to it. I teach my kids that abstinence is the only 100% sure way to avoid a teen pregnancy. In a way, this is the same rule of thumb for safe hunting. An empty chamber is the only way to 100% ensure the safety of yourself and your companions - expect the same of those you hunt with. [/QUOTE]
