I dont know the date of the accident, or, who was there, just what the response from the club owners was, which, to be honest, is just a we gotta do something reaction, a notion that leads to nonsense like banning a design of gun.

I dont even hunt deer. But, I am a guy who would have a bad case of the willies with either the muzzle being pointed at me on the way down, or, the gun being out of my grasp and in battery. Change either, and both of the two incidents I posted become just another day in the woods.
Best,
Ted
