AD shooting accidents in hunting situations occur when firearms handlers THINK the chamber is empty and they either act carelessly or violate safe firearms handling procedures..esp muzzle direction-control, identification of target and background for the shot.
That and poor transportation procedures.
IF one conducts himself properly and considers the firearm hot, he will either make good judgements in carrying hot or unload and positively verify safe.
There is no wiggle room on safety... Every 'accident' is preventable even when we know the risks and take them intelligently.Jim
