No round in the chamber here in WY. There has yet to be a situation where that was necessary. That's just not how it is out here. You know your shot is coming well in advance. Odds of accidentally killing your buddy, or shooting a horse are zero without a chambered round.

When I lived and hunted in the hardwood timber of New York, you probably would never pull off shooting a deer with no round chambered. Everything happens too fast in dense timber.

It has its place, but if it isn't necessary, I'm not sure why you would be compelled to take unnecessary risk.

in a nutshell, this is what the two sides do not grasp.
in the east, the deer rarely stand still, they always move because of the hunters kicking the briar patch to see what runs out.
 
Your not at risk of killing your friends if your not sticking the muzzle at them either.
You can accidentally point en empty chamber at your buddy and pull the trigger and he's not going to die. Now try it with a round in the chamber. Let me know how it works. Accidents happen. We are human.

Special Forces guys have negligent discharges and get sent back to conventional units all the time. This happens. Im willing to bet we can count on one hand the amount of guys on this forum that are as proficient or safe with a fire arm as an SF Operator.
