Thread: what happens if...

I quite often bring a rifle along on what is really more of a tramping trip, with 2-3 other people in the party. Mostly it's the same people, but I make sure at least one other person knows how to make sure the rifle is safe in the event that something happens to me.

For taking out someone new, who wants to try hunting, same thing, but I also like them to read at least the 7 basic rules section of the arms code the night before. Being able to follow the supervision rules is easy enough either way, but if the new person doesn't need as much intervention and explanation in real time (extra noise), it allows for better hunting.
