Most everyone agreed the most likely scenario for a ND is when chambering/unchambering. Some would prefer to do that multiple times - in and out of the rig, crossing fences, crossing streams, going through thick stuff, walking in slippery areas, up or down steep stuff, on and off the horse, on or off the wheeler, etc.......
Seems far better to cycle once when you want your gun to go bang.

how do you think them actions get slicked up so much and the barrel not worn out? lol
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

If you're rifle isn't safe to carry loaded you should have it fixed. And if you cannot carry your weapon safely with a chambered cartridge, perhaps you should either practice with it more or pick up a different hobby.
It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

The same could be said about the person uncoordinated enough to get a round in the chamber quick enough to get a shot off. In fact, it would probably fit better with the latter.

I really don't care, I was just throwing gas on the fire. to each his own. Guess I have been lucky and not fallen or what ever for 50 years of hunting.

If nothing else we've achieved a sort of North Korea/South Korea truce on the issue.. just lobbing the occasional mortar shell at each other...

If it's perfectly safe to carry in the steep, thick and slick, why unload in your truck for the ride home...why ever unload? Gas, mortar, grenade...

Legality would be one reason. In some states it's not legal to drive around hunting with a loaded rifle. How they differentiate between someone who isn't hunting... I don't know.
Another one is that by definition, the rifle is ALWAYS pointed at something you don't want to shoot, when it's in the truck. In the field it's NEVER pointed at something you don't want to shoot, unless as you guys say you go ass over teakettle, or have bad muzzle control.
I could go on.. but why risk provoking a war? When we have this nice... calm... truce! Complete with no-man's-land.

I hunt where most carry hot yet very few if any are hurt each year. I carry cold and don't feel handicapped for doing so.
