Abstract

Highlights: [•] We examined Swedish hunters’ safety habits and experiences of firearm incidents. [•] The responders reported good hunting safety habits and a high degree of compliance with weapon storage regulations. [•] Twenty-three percent of the responders had experienced another hunter causing a firearm incident, although such incidents seldom resulted in human injury or death. [•] An unsafetied weapon was the most commonly reported “cause” of firearm incidents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
