I don't hunt dangerous game, and no one brought up dangerous game.
Do PH's allow their hunters to carry hot when they're walking through the brush and haven't spotted game yet?
PHs commonly do allow it and PHs have also learned to live with the worrisome regularity with which clients carelessly
muzzle sweep them....same goes for hunting guides on other continents who 'tolerate' being muzzle swept.
The AR Africa groupie crowd will tell you getting swept by muzzle is part of what 'happens' in that environment and don't
seem to care much about the regularity with which is happens,...some say they carry a hot chamber but offer their
personal comfort and assurance... ' but I do so with the safety on'..LOL.
but the hypocrites will then chew other people out for using an unchambered rifle/scope as a monocular.
I'm confused....Forums are confusing places...
Its because hypocrites put forward their idealistic standards, which in many cases they don't live up to themselves.
Appropriate or acceptable gun safety procedures can be relative to particular circumstances-requirements.
