Default Everyone should see this on gun safety!!!

Everyone knows you do not point a gun at anyone empty or not right.. How about loading a gun with the safety on? This one I simply could not believe.. You have to see this one in order to believe it.. This may not belong here but, with everyone wanting to or has been out there turkey hunting safety is always the key to a successful hunt..

What he is holding there Phil is a law suit in the making.
My take away from the video.
It is a defective firearm that as I see when loading by racking a round in the action the gun fires that round.
The gun should not fire that round by closing the action. That is all he is doing. The Safety has nothing to do with it.

Had he not practiced Firearm safety (I.e. Muzzle control) someone would surely gotten hurt!

That firearm should not fire just by working the action and cycling a live round.

I'd be calling Winchester ASAP!
