Hunting is safe and getting safer, says IHEA exec
 
Yesterday’s Extrano’s Alley” gun blog discussed an apparent myth surrounding guns in the house and during the course of the discussion created something of a myth of its own when it suggested that “there were 606 fatal firearms accidents during 2012; and conventional wisdom has it that some 400 of those involved hunting accidents.”

There were five hunting related firearm incidents in Washington in 2012. None was fatal. That is a record low.
