Very true, Dean! I'm sure you've seen pictures of hunters in the past w/ their external hammers cocked, chambers loaded and the gun broken open..?
I'm sure those guys were quick enough to close the breech while bringing the gun up to fire w/ NO hammers to worry about cocking!
This subject of 'no safety' would make a great article for our "Parker Pages" magazine.
Thanks for all the comments, esp. the one from Garry about Aldo Leopold & his Fox. I think it's a fascinating subject, but one I'm not comfortable with, YET..!
