OK. I should have said "very few". Most of the "unintentional" discharges one hears about fall into the ND category, IMO.
In all honesty,I do have to agree with Jeff on his point about you conceding that your statement was incorrect.I respect your changing your statement,and I do agree with your new statement. Another individual here posted a blanket statement that carrying a gun with an empty chamber would completely eliminate accidental discharges.I informed him that an accidental discharge could still happen when he chambered a round or released the safety when he was ready to take the shot.However unlike you,he would not admit that his statement was not correct,instead insisting that if the gun went off it would not be an accidental discharge because he was preparing to shoot,and the muzzle was pointed in a safe direction.When I pointed out that if the gun went off before the trigger was intentionally pulled,it would be considered an accidental discharge regardless of where the muzzle was pointed. It would be so much easier if more people shared your attitude. We may not agree about hunting with a round in the chamber,but at least we can have a civil discussion and amend incorrect statements to make them correct.

Gotta save this and show it to the wife!  I was and am DEAD SERIOUS. I've spent the last weekend "debating" people who were incapable of a reasonable debate. Not you. -jeff

Didn't have a prob. dancing the bolt, with my girl deer (she didn't even chit twitch)....this past month.
I fall over all the down timber...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much, in the clear cuts, trying to get to where I want to be....to carry it hot. Too busy, really, to try and figure out where Ned is, at anyone time.....so I just figure it safest....

HG;
Can figure that most would hunt with you any day.....
The reasons, don't stop with common sense re: rifle safety..... but they damned sure start there.

Yes I hunt with a round in the chamber.
At times such as crossing very rough terrain or a fence I unload or at least open the action halfway. I then reload/close action.
Safety first and all that!

Careful, this is one of those threads that begins to feel kind of like going to confession...... Sheesh, how much dignity are we willingly giving up in exposing the weakness of the human condition?

I just wonder how come I always get the guys with zero muzzle control??? Why do I end up getting guns pointed at me in error ao frigging often if all you folks are so incredibly gifted in muzzle control?
The reason is that few have a friggin' clue what muzzle control REALLY is and do not mind looking down the occasional muzzle. It is what they have seen and done their entire lives.
