3. Yeah -I know double-action

I agree--only an unsafe idiot keeps the weapon in a condition where a little trigger-pull fires the gun,

I am old school-never keep the gun in a position where trigger-pressure fires the weapon.
Always assume the weapon is loaded.
Always assume a weapon given to you is loaded and unsafe.
Never allow the barrel end to sweep anything living, etc.

I live in northern Wisconsin and have refused to hunt with the fuckheads that don't treat guns the way they should.
There are many that have no idea how to handle these things and they are too easy to own and this must stop.
