You can do the same with a pump or a bolt, I crack the pump all the time when going through weird thing, mind you I also use a safety as well and I don't set my gun down loaded.

No point in arguing some are just prejudice. Its all about safe gun handling no matter the firearm end of story
Time in the outdoors is never wasted

Obviously the person who sets their loaded shotgun down is unsafe, end of story in my mind, action has nothing to do with safety.

Nobody said the incident was caused by a particular type of action. What I said was I personally "prefer" a break action double. I find it is the safest and easiest design and when working with a high strung bird dog my choice. I also own a semi, prefer doubles.
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

It had to be a woman , didn't it. 
I understand your point Terry and agree.
( Almost shot my toes off once. Dog was on point . I took the safety off and moved in for the flush in front of the dog ( Don't do that!) , dog broke , hit my leg , gun went off. ) Learned that day to come in from the side.

Totally agree on all comments about gun safety .... But I do agree with terrym. I love my over and under for the same reason! Should I be party hunting with people who are not familiar with me when I break my shotgun they know I am safe whether they are standing next to me or from a distance. And there are two .... Just two shells in my shotgun, never a third shell in a pump or semi-auto that someone "forgot".

Accidents come in all manner of disguises. I've been around long enough to know it's best NEVER to incriminate someone. I have made some mistakes that really saddened me - luckily no-one was injured. If you had asked me, "Would you.....?" I would have said, That'll never happen to me." Stuff happens. It's not an excuse what-so-ever. But it still happens.
That said, I have to agree with trkyhntr21. Semis are definitely a sign of the devil!
