Ground-pounding opinions

My safety has been off before by accident and if a bird flushes and I don’t feel the click it is totally weird and I’m frozen and fiddling with the safety…probably don’t get the bird

Yeah that’s me. My old Citori doesn’t always reset the safety and even after firing a ton of shells through it I have accidentally pulled up on a bird and switched it on instead of off. You would think I would not get that flustered when a bird gets up but I still do
 
35-40 years ago while duck hunting on pelican lake near Orr, Mn, 2 of us per blind, 10 yards apart looking out at the lake…nothing happening…deadsville…BOOM!!!!!….wtf?….younger guy, 16?…in other blind was doing god knows what! Found out those 2 don’t keep safety’s on, including the host, who was 28? 30? Island named after his family, prominent name…doesn’t matter, stupid is stupid!!!!
 
My dad (not a big hunter) took my older brother deer hunting the first time. Back then it was shotgun only. He had bought my brother an 870 20ga.

As they were walking out to the blind they were going to sit in KABOOM!. A big clod of dirt goes up next to dad's foot. Brother had forgotten which way the safety would be when it was on or off, so to test he pulled the trigger.

Same brother nearly killed my when he shot a .22cal bullet through my hair from 12 feet away joking around in the family room when I was 11 years old. Needless to say, he now lives in New York City.
