I think I can answer both questions at the same time


I believe that shotgun hunting is justifiable in high population areas close to major cities and small tracts of lands inside urban areas. Are they safer than rifles, only in the circumstances previously mentioned.

In my oppinion and experience, I don't see any major issue with using shot guns, and as far as being safer the rifles, my answer would be, all fire arms are dangerous and need to be used with exteame care regardless of where you are using them, as long as they are permitted to be used.

Prictice good hunting safty and use your god given common sense.

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!

The type of gun is not the problem Its the type of person holding the gun that causes problem. That said all firearms are dangerous.So treat them all with respest.

I agree all firearms are dangerous, but when it comes to being safer, in crowded woods, shotguns are safer because the effective range is much less than that of a rifle.

My mind belongs to my work...
My heart belongs to my family...

But my soul...belongs to the woods.

I live in a shotgun only area, and I have always used a shotgun, and have no problem with that... I do think they are a little safer due to their shorter range, but once again it comes down to who is holding the gun...
