East meets West or some such thing. I'm sure there is an interesting story behind the origin of this divide. Where I'm from, NWPA, everyone hunts hot. And that makes sense. 1 million guys on 57 acres of state land with a 9 day season.... I ain't saying don't chamber one, but I ain't got much desire to more around too much with one in the chamber. You need to buy a new almanac. I do know there are a LOT of guys chasing the same nickel in a very short season.

Ruffed Grouse are the kind that fly away when you come to kill them.

I do not believe I use the word afraid anywhere.
So, it your opinion should a hunter who has daily bouts of almost blinding vertigo and who hunts in heavy brush country with vines and loose rock everywhere use a safety when he hunts with a live round chambered?

Dumbest arse comparison I've ever seen. Chambering a round while hunting and carrying a chambered handgun for defense; the two are like night & day; they two are opposite sides of different books. And yet the hard headed of this forum see it as an issue to argue about...brilliant.

Scot F, Betcha she didn't have a safety or it was not on.
Better to be over the hill than under it.

Remington 700. She took off the safety and it shot her son after going through her horse trailer. Lots of blame all around but a cold chamber would have just caused a "OH CRAP" moment not a dead child. Proper muzzle control would have been a life saver too.
When I first read Steelhead's thoughts I thought he was crazy but I sat down and thought about it and realized his points are valid. I have taken a shot when I did not have time to chamber a round. I changed the way hunt.

Someone like you that askeered of shooting themselves or someone else with a rifle while walking around in the woods, certainly shouldn't be trusted with a rifle with a 30 round magazine. Give a moron like you a 30 round magazine and you might just be able to hit someone. It's best that a klutz like you be limited to just 5 rounds.

Full of crap?? Why? Steelie by his own admission doesn't trust himself to walk around with a loaded hunting rifle because he perceives himself to be a danger to himself and others. Why should someone like that be trusted with a semi-auto with a 30 round capacity? He certainly shouldn't be trusted to have a handgun (and certainly not one without a manual safety) with a round in the chamber.

Practicing safety such as a cold chamber when moving and hunting then equating that to magazine capacity is idiotic to say the least.
