Another thought.
I started reading about people hunting with an empty chamber years ago.
I thought, "WTF". I had never even considered such a thing.
Then I thought "okay, these guides have to hunt with people they don't know, everyday."
It's a safety thing in those circumstances.

Then I come here, and find people who empty chamber by choice, when alone.
I don't care what they do, it's definitely safe, so go for it.
My deer kill would have been much smaller if I hunted that way,
but, they don't hunt where, and how, I hunt.64

It's a balance thing, everything has risks, we try to balance them as we see fit.
