I know. That's screwed-up BS but people claim it, sympathetic souls believe it and say "Oh, he'll have to deal with that the rest of his life" and the shooter gets off scott free.

Get distracted driving a vehicle and run over someone. You'll likely be charged with negligent homicide and the "oh, he'll have to live with that the rest of his life" won't matter.

Never have understood why stupid people who are hunting and shoot another hunter "because I saw something move" aren't charged and prosecuted.

But yes, blaze orange is visible and can help. I wear it all the time. Wisconsin's lower legislative chamber, the Assembly, just approved a "blaze pink" garment for hunting, too. It has to go to the Senate and governor.
