revolvers are good but shotguns are great, This is proof.
This is proof of neither, given that neither had anything to do with the incident.

It is really a very different mindset. In short, you don't chamber a round until you have an immediate need to do so.
I wonder how much, if any of this mindset is due to the rules of television?
In one of the hunting forums in which I participate, whenever there is a shooting where a hunter gets injured (shoots self, shoots another hunter) unintentionally, there are a variety of hunters who come out of the woodwork proclaiming that there is no reason to be walking around the woods with a chambered firearm. Apparently, these individuals feel that guns are too dangerous to be carried around with a round chambered, that just too much could go wrong and they are very vehement about it. They don't do it. They don't allow others who hunt with them to do it.

What is really scary is that Uptain did this with a gun that was there for defensive purposes.

I was hunting a ridge down in missouri, in ozark forest, and a handful of does climbed the ridge to cross it. I had been looking down the other side of the ridge when they came up. I heard the sound, and had to quietly turn, and the darned things crept right up to me, about thirty feet, no more. Oh, yes, I thought. Buck might be with them. Took off the safety, the click alerted her, she looked me right in the eyes and I counted her lashes. Zip. The buck didn't bother making an appearance.To me, having a quiet safety is a requirement for a hunting rifle and I suspect I'm not the only one here who thinks that way.
What should be noted is Fish and Game report that 50% of those who used fire arms suffered injury, bear spray, not nearly so much or bad.
I hope you realized that I am being sarcastic with seat belt comment
everyone in the group should be familiar with the other guy's equipment. Know the safeties, know how to operate the phones, etc. If your phone is busted and your buddy is down after a car wreck outside of town, you had better know the password!
If the instructions aren't 9-1-1, it probably isn't a viable optionModern phones allow you to dial 911 without the password
For Android phones, there is a similar way to do it but can't find a decent set of instructions online...
