Neither do I. That is why I took hunter safety courses, and dad, and gramps, and uncles, all military veterans taught me early how to safely handle them.
But you are correct, they should never be taken lightly. Care and caution should always be exercised. The time something bad happens is when you relax that care. That's why in 35 years I've not had a mishap, or even a close call. Though I've not hunted in 20 years as I don't care for the taste of the game out on the high plains Rocky Mountain region, compared to the midwestern states, and the northeast. And the game is tougher, and needs more prep work before cooking.
