>>Yeah, out of which 87 were loaded, and 38 with a round in chamber!!! That's to show that a lot of people like to shoot a gun, but quite a few don't know how to handle/carry/store it safely.
That's crazy if you're just transporting the thing.
Would be interested to hear what you think about safe handling in dense forest terrain. When hunting deer, IME a lot of people keep a round chambered- obviously with safety on- because chambering a round is noisy enough to send your target scarpering! Modern weapons have pretty good safeties, fortunately...
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
