The problem I have seen hunters have with 94s isnt in unloading them, it is getting them loaded to hunt with a round in the chamber, and lowering the hammer to half cock. There is no way to lower the hammer without pulling the trigger, safety or no safety. Pair this with a youthful hunter, or a one weekend a year hunter and bad things can happen.
Our state tracked deer season injuries by action type a few years ago and a disproportionatly high number were lever actions.
