Blaze orange laws are not only to protect you as a hunter from being shot. They are also for protecting those around you. The theory is, if they see orange, they then know its not safe to shoot near you. If they identify a target and shoot, with you somewhere close by the target, in camo, well, they wont see you. Yes, getting a slug in the guts would suck for sure, but what about some young hunter who did EVERYTHING right, but wasnt aware of your presence nearby or behind an identified target? His life is over, in a sense, too. Thats why most states talk about BO being mandatory.

Seat belts are a whole different story, thats just covering the state against liability. The sad fact is, it ought to be called UNCOMMON sense, because you seldom see it anymore...
