Clearing a weapon should be an automatic response to anyone who picks up a weapon, even if they are sure it is unloaded.
A lot of people die every Year from 'Unloaded' weapons that turned out to be loaded.
When my Mother was a young girl she watched a boy get his head blown off when his brother playfully aimed an 'unloaded' 12 Ga Shotgun at his head and said "Bang." as he pulled the trigger. A lot of lives changed that instant. Nobody was at fault and everyone was at fault. She even blamed herself for not stopping what was a couple of brothers goofing around.

I agree -- as a strong gun-control advocate, such a hunting accident says nothing about gun policy. |

In any case, hunting/gun-accidents rates are low and falling lower. nt |

If that is the case, then this is not the correct forum, as per forum rules. |

Hell, if you're after turkey, you clear the weapon whenever you move position |

Should Passing an NRA (or equivalent) Safety Course be a Prerequisite for a Hunting License? |

Unless you're over 40 or so, it already is, in most states.. |

Nope, just keep them out of public. Experienced gunners make mistakes, and public shouldn't pay. |

The deceased wasn't in public, and the only person who paid for his mistake was himself |

Some people have the mentality that a dead gun owner is a good gun owner. |
