Well, here's what happened to that guy. He pulled the rifle through the brush and caught the hammer. Brush let go and the hammer fell. Still would have been ok but for letting the rifle slide back in his hand. He says he still doesn't know what happened but I don't know how he could not get it.
I think this same thing could happen if carrying the rifle at halfcock.
I have always carried capped and at halfcock even when a little tiny voice in the far back reaches of my brain thought I should question it. Some will read through this thread and say something like "I always done it this way and I'll keep on doing it". Not me, I plan to take action on this.
I like the Kap Kover and if the piece of leather doesn't meet with satisfaction I'll try that.
I have trained many family members in ML and need to add this to their education.
So, old dog learning a new trick. One of the best and most informative safety discussions ever on this forum.
