That frosts me also. I quit deer hunting in one area after hearing people brag about all the "sound shots" they took at "deer" on wildlife management area hunt. Having bullets go over your head or having buckshot rattle through the bushes near you are not pleasant experiences.
I feel the main point to be made is that the scope is fine (I have and use one just about like it) but that it should not be used in such a way that might give someone the false impression that you are aiming a rifle at them.
