me too. And I would imagine they would claim that they are uber safe.

We have more and more hunting accidents by more and more people that keep guns loaded when they should not be.

It will only get worse as fewer fathers and grandfathers are knocking knots on kids heads for not being safer with firearms. More and more hunters are learning as adults from friends and the friends arent as harsh on them as they should be.

This. My dad beat it into our brains as kids to always treat every gun like it was loaded and he wasn't even that big of a hunter. You gotta treat your friends who are new to the sport the way your father taught you.

Sad that this happened to the guy and I pray that everything makes out okay for him. But like others have said, it was a very avoidable situation.
