Round In The Chamber

[treydfoster]

Michael ran that by me before posting. I agree with the IG video he posted. My comment about walking around with one in the chamber of a hunting rifle, other than when moving in on a stalk, was less charitable than his comment.

Nobody has ever been killed or harmed by a bullet leaving the barrel of an empty rifle. We get too many reports about deaths and injuries each year that were the situation of someone walking around with a live round in the chamber. And nobody killed or injured due to carrying a live round ever intended to get killed or injured.

Well you're wrong too.

As a note to expand on this, the context of the comment refers to out hunting big game with a rifle, not concealed carry or with a shotgun while bird hunting.

So it's okay to have one chambered during an activity with more people around, moving less cautiously through brush, than it is to be hunting with fewer people while walking more carefully and quietly? Doesn't check out for me.

No, never, just no...also an empty hole @ the revolver hammer. I don't have to guess, ever.

Me neither.

Anyone who hunts with a semi-auto and probably with a lever gun is hunting with one in the chamber.

When I get of the truck with a bow, I don't nock an arrow either. That would be weird, right?
