Jeff -

My point is the empty chamber scenario IS perfect when it comes to shootings - its only when the chamber is loaded that people run into problems.

Looks like we agree that, at least for ourselves, there are times where it is appropriate to hunt hot and times when a cold chamber is better. We just disagree as to the specifics, which is fine. Each individual has to chose for themselves.

As far as what others think, its never been much of a concern to me. Prior to the mid-1800's I'll bet you'd have found that 75% of the whites in the south thought slavery was OK, and the US Supreme Court agreed with them at one time. Throughout history there are lots of examples of the masses being wrong. smile

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
