Prayers to him and his family.
Wow that’s awful.you have to be so careful with a loaded firearm
Terrible news, but it generally takes a situation like this to remind us to treat every firearm as loaded regardless whether you know it is or not, firearm safety 101. Let's hope there's a positive result from this.
It’s like how many guys out there check their safety’s. it’s something mechanical and can easily fail. You walk around with a shell in and put the safety on but does it work. Just a heads up stay safe.
Safeties are not infallible. Not having a round in the chamber is infallible and completely safe from accidental firing.
Terrible news. Hope that he is going to be ok.
I have been thinking more about gun safety this year than any other as I got my son his first "real" gun, a 12 ga., and have been shooting with him every weekend this season. He is conscientious and careful but I am always watching, reminding and pointing things out. Safety is first every time and I am more aware of that with him there than I have been since my dad first taught me.
Terrible news. I test my safety when I load every gun, load it, safety on, pull the trigger, they ban break, become old, many things can happen.
Safety's should be thrown in the bush. I would not and will not trust a firearm safety. It takes a fraction of a second to put one in the pipe when needed. Probably not much longer to take the safety off.
I best wishes to the hunter and his family.
Why does anyone need a safrty. Only load it when it will be shot!!!
