After reading this thread my first thought was" This should be common sense, a no brainer." My second thought was" Well smart a$$ why haven't you ever thought of it?" I have never dropped a firearm. I have fallen in water,river in late november Northern IL and kept my shotgun out of the water, "duck hunting is fun repeat duck hunting is fun repeat." But I have not dropped one YET. Thanks for the heads up. I hope that, after all the years I have been shooting, I would have done the correct thing without this thread but who knows common sense usually isn't.
