Those that hunt hot have not normally tried any other way, so they fail to realize that the time it takes to chamber a round will not in most cases cause them to loose the shot opportunity.
On the flipside, those that hunt with a cold chamber won't have to explain to the police why they killed their son, friend, or hunting partner because the killing of the animal was more valuable than the human life they disregarded out of ignorance, stupidity, or both.
The discussion is safety, pure and simple. No one can argue that a person carrying hot is more safe than one who does not...Period.
If you carry hot you are putting your possible trophy ahead of your life and the life of the people around you. Some folks can do that, and some cannot.
