Even if you were all by yourself hunting. Many places have large cities in and around an area hunted. Suppose that a person was getting ready to shoot an animal and flipped off the safety before the rifle was to his shoulder and the gun goes boom but the muzzle was pointed at an upward angle. That bullet has got to come down somewhere and in a populated area it could easily strike a person.

How many of us here ever flip the safety back and forth when we are sitting there with anticipation during those last 30 minutes of light when we just know that the big one is about to show himself. And don't say that you don't do it cause we all have.
