Jeepers eh....have a safe dark walk out on uneven, slippery ground....one oops and was the safety on, was I in haste to get out and go etc....over confidence will get ya or someone else.....now if your setting up and it's go time....yup round chambered end of go time whether successful or not moving to another area take the road out of the chamber...better to have lost the opportunity then to lose a lifetime of opportunities.
