"Lloyd you best be damn careful walking lonely grouse trails by yourself with a cocked hammergun. If you cock it at least open the action"
But walking with a cocked hammerless is OK? Maybe we should consider what the situation is inside a cocked gun of each type. The rebounding hammer gun with its safety bent on the tumbler is arguably safer than a boxlock, even one with the safety engaged. But as the post above says, with a hammer gun you can see the hammers, whereas with a hammerless you cannot, so if they are cocked, (which happens every time you open and close the gun)
, it is a case of out of sight out of mind.
